Reis Nelson with another beauty today for hoffenheim!!

5 now this season

Yeah, he's really ripping it up over there. Hopefully will be ready for the premier league next season.

Danger for us is he'll be getting Bayern's attention like Gnabry did when he was playing well for Werder Bremen. You know what they're like, as soon as a player establishes himself as a real talent in the Bundesliga, they start chasing after them.

Andrey has officially retired aged 37. No idea why but he's still one of my all time favourite Arsenal players.

He was so inconsistent, a slightly better Hleb. Those 4 against Liverpool were pretty decent though!

Another goal for Nelson today.

That boy is very special. Scored more BL goals than Robert Lewandowski!

I was just gonna post that.

I think due to Welbecks injury he will be recalled.

Would actually feel a bit sorry for Hoffenheim if that happened.

I don’t think he should be recalled. He’d still be sitting on the bench most of the time.

I agree, the experience he is getting over there is invaluable at this stage of his career. But you know how tight we are, and with only Aubameyang, Lacazette and Iwobi we are slightly short on numbers.

We have nketiah

and will probably now sign another forward in January I don't see nelson being recalled

I think Nelson is slightly further along than Nketiah.

I seem to remember reading somewhere Nelson's loan deal is locked down for the season so the club can't just whisk him back when it suits.

You might want to tell that to the young lad because he is up for coming back in January.

"Hopefully I’ll come back in a couple of months – if it’s a year so be it – ready to play in Arsenal’s first team,"

Nice to see that he’s actually keen to come back.

He's a London lad and has been with us since he was 9, so I'd hope he is excited about the future with us.

I still think it would be better for him if he stayed in Germany for the rest of the season for experience unless if he can come straight into the first 11.

Great article on sky sports about him. He’s definitely making people sit up and take notice.

Its nice to have some positive stories about Arsenal players. And I didn't realise he was friends with Jadon Sancho growing up.

Hell of a lot of top players have come from South London, Ian Wright included.

Yep, plus Ian’s sons are south Londoners, one of which is now the all time record NYRB goalscorer.

Yep both kids have done well for themselves.
