West Ham close in on Reiss Nelson signing from Arsenal

West Ham United are reportedly close to completing a deal for Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson as the Hammers continue to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes. According to The West Ham Way, negotiations over the England international have progressed significantly, with the club now expected to finalise the move after previously considering alternative targets. Nelson is understood to be available for around £3 million, although his wages could prove a more significant consideration for West Ham.

The 26-year-old spent last season on loan at Brentford and is now expected to leave Arsenal, with the Gunners looking to reduce their squad before the deadline. West Ham have also been linked with Viking winger Edvin Austbø, who offers greater pace and remains another option for the club. With the Hammers seeking further attacking reinforcements, Nelson could become their latest addition as they attempt to reshape their squad.
