Leicester is hopeful of reaching an agreement with Arsenal to sign a winger, as negotiations are currently taking place.

Reiss Nelson, the talented winger who rose through the ranks at Arsenal, seems to be ready for a new chapter in his career as he looks set to depart from the club this summer. According to reports, Leicester City is currently in talks with Arsenal for a loan deal that would include an obligation to buy Nelson next year.

The 24-year-old made his debut for Arsenal under the guidance of Arsene Wenger during the 2017/18 season and has since featured under Mikel Arteta. Last season, he made more appearances in all competitions than ever before for the club. However, despite this progress, he only started in one of his 15 Premier League outings, making it clear that he needs to move on in order to secure regular first-team football.

Leicester City is eager to offer Nelson the opportunity he seeks, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirming that negotiations are currently underway between the two clubs. The Foxes are looking to secure a loan deal for the young English talent, with the intention to buy him at the end of the short-term contract. And if all goes well, it's reported that Leicester is confident in their ability to attract Nelson to the King Power Stadium, as he has previously worked with their new manager, Steve Cooper.

Cooper, who recently took over as Leicester boss, has a history with Nelson from their time together in the England Under-16s and Under-17s. In fact, Nelson's exceptional performance under Cooper's guidance at the 2016 Under-17 European Championship resulted in him being named in the Team of the Tournament. Although Nelson has only played for Arsenal in England, he has gained valuable experience through loan spells in Europe with Hoffenheim and Feyenoord.

While West Ham has also expressed interest in signing Nelson, it appears that Leicester is currently at the front of the queue for his signature. As the negotiations continue, fans can only wait and see where Nelson's journey will take him next.
