Reiss Nelson has taken some time to adapt to life at Feyenoord after joining from Arsenal on loan during the summer.

He is yet to start a game for his new club but after last night one might be on the horizon in the near future.

Nelson stepped off the bench with 14 minutes left to play and assisted Cyriel Dessers to fire home a stoppage-time winner.

It’s been a frustrating time of thing lately for Nelson at Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta hasn’t really fancied him and amid a host of attacking signings, Nelson has been forced out on loan.

Still, at 21 there is plenty of time for him to showcase his quality and earn an Arsenal shot in the future.

Since graduating through the Hale End academy, the talented youngster has made 48 appearances, scoring four goals and claiming four assists.

Heading out on loan was paramount this season. He was never going to get ample game time at Arsenal and he couldn’t sit kicking his heels.

So far he hasn’t been able to earn a start but his performances from the bench are starting to catch the eye.

Nelson earns £38,000-a-week at Arsenal and he’s by no means among the highest-earning players at the club.

What have Arsenal fans said about Nelson?

It would seem as though Nelson is a popular figure at the Emirates Stadium. Following his Sunday heroics, plenty of fans have been commenting on Twitter.

Some fans were particularly happy to see the player loaned out in the first place. Others have conceded that it was right and that they hope to see him impress during his time in Holland.

Nelson will hope to force his way into the starting eleven in the near future and this showing will do his chances no harm at all.

Here is what the Arsenal fan base had to say after Nelson claimed an assist.
