Feyenoord could be a smart loan move for Reiss Nelson

Feyenoord are a side that like to dominate possession, and get on the front foot.

So it could be a very smart choice for a player such as Nelson. He clearly has the talent to enjoy a fantastic career.

He was excellent during his previous loan spell, away at Hoffenheim. In fact, he returned having scored seven goals in 23 Bundesliga games.

A similar return while he is in the Eredivisie could well force Edu and Arteta to sit up and take notice.
