Overview

• Fulham are in advanced negotiations with Arsenal over Nelson’s return, but no agreement has yet been finalised.
• Talks focus on either a season-long loan with an obligation to purchase or an outright permanent transfer.
• Arsenal have added Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyökeres this summer, further limiting Nelson’s prospects at the Emirates.
• Nelson made 13 consecutive appearances for Fulham last season before a December hamstring injury cut his loan spell short.
• Fulham have lost Willian and Carlos Vinicius and see Nelson’s prior loan spell as a low-risk way to boost their wide options.
