In a bid to help youngsters and give back to his local community, Reiss Nelson paid a visit to his old primary school to open a new training facility, funded by himself.

Our winger headed to the Michael Faraday School in Walworth where his love of the game began as a kid, to meet the next generation of supporters and unveil a new 4G football pitch, which he hopes will help inspire and unearth future stars from that area.

Another fellow south Londoner was also on hand to help make the day even more memorable, with Gunners legend Ian Wright also stopping by the cut the ribbon on the pitch, and meet a host of excited students keen to follow in his and Reiss' footsteps.
