Overview

• Fulham and Arsenal have entered advanced talks on a deal to return Nelson to Craven Cottage but no agreement has been finalized.
• Arsenal is insisting on a season-long loan that automatically converts into a permanent transfer at its conclusion.
• Nelson made 13 consecutive appearances for Fulham last season before a hamstring injury in December sidelined him.
• The 25-year-old is under contract at Arsenal until summer 2027 with an option to extend for another year, giving the Gunners negotiating leverage.
• Fulham remain without a summer signing after losing key wide attackers, increasing the urgency to bolster their attack.
