Leicester City are reportedly in talks with Arsenal to sign winger Reiss Nelson, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. The deal being discussed is a loan move with an obligation to buy, meaning Leicester would be committed to purchasing Nelson permanently if certain conditions are met.

While the structure of the deal seems to be taking shape, the two clubs are still negotiating the financial terms, which will determine the final outcome.

Leicester’s confidence in securing Nelson stems partly from his past experience working under manager Steve Cooper. Cooper was the head coach at Swansea City when Nelson enjoyed a successful loan spell there in the 2018/19 season. This existing connection might influence Nelson’s decision if the clubs reach an agreement.

Nelson’s playing time at Arsenal has been inconsistent, and his future with the Gunners remains unclear. A loan move with a potential permanent transfer could offer him a chance for more regular playing time under a familiar manager.

Whether Nelson joins Leicester on loan or not will depend on the outcome of the ongoing negotiations between the two clubs. One thing is certain: Leicester City are determined to add him to their squad.
