Reiss Nelson, born on December tenth, nineteen ninety-nine, is an English professional footballer who currently plays as a winger for Premier League club Brentford, on loan from Arsenal. His journey in football began at the young age of nine when he joined Arsenal's academy, where he quickly showcased his talent by playing above his age group.
Nelson made his first-team debut for Arsenal in the 2017 FA Community Shield, marking the start of his professional career. Seeking more first-team opportunities, he embarked on a loan spell with German club TSG Hoffenheim during the 2018–19 season, where he gained valuable experience. Upon returning to Arsenal, he faced challenges under new manager Mikel Arteta, who utilized him sparingly due to injury concerns.
In pursuit of more playing time, Nelson moved to the Netherlands on loan at Feyenoord, where he made a significant impact and enjoyed increased first-team action. His career continued to evolve as he joined Fulham on loan for the duration of the twenty twenty-four to twenty twenty-five season, further enhancing his skills and experience.
On the international stage, Nelson has represented England at every youth level since his debut with the under-16 team in November twenty fourteen. He has participated in several youth UEFA European Championships and was notably selected for the Team of the Tournament in the 2016 under-17 edition, contributing to England's impressive quarter-final finish.
