Mikel Arteta believes Reiss Nelson can reach “the next level”, having been impressed with his progress over the past 12 months.

The 22-year-old winger spent last season on loan at Feyenoord, gaining valuable experience in the Eredivise and the Europa Conference League before returning to London Colney this summer looking to shine back in our colours.

A muscle injury ruled him out of the opening two months, but now fit again and with potential opportunities to play regularly coming in the form of five Europa League games across the next five weeks, Arteta is hopeful Reiss’ talent comes to the fore.
