After a performance against PSV Eindhoven last night, Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson is now looking very positive about the future.
Nelson was speaking to the Arsenal website last night following his assist for Eddie Nketiah’s goal in the 1-1 draw.
And when talking about his own functionality and injury-free fitness, the winger praised his fellow Hale End graduate.
Nelson is very happy to be able to help a friend in Nketiah, who now proves to be very difficult for his ends.
He said: “Yeah well that’s my guy!
“He’s on me to try and assist him a lot so I always have it in the back of my mind if I can get an area where I know he can turn and get the shot off, I will play him and he done the business today.
“I think we can go far, the fans deserve to be excited and everyone deserves to be excited to see us play in the next round. “
Of course, there must be nothing more satisfying for Arsenal enthusiasts than seeing the duo thrive in Europe.
Nelson and Nketiah performed very well for Arsenal against an impressive PSV last night.
Although both sides had made changes, PSV boast a formidable record at home this season in all competitions, and Mikel Arteta will have taken positives from the performance.
Reiss Nelson rightly recalled his quality at Arsenal against PSV.
The winger hasn’t had many opportunities since the start of this season, but he has shown signs of progress.
Of course, getting stuck with Bukayo Saka is not an easy task for any player in world football.
But this functionality can bode well for any time when Saka is unavailable or wants to rest.
What’s more, Nketiah’s display may also become a slight headache for Arteta in the coming weeks.
Although linked with an exit in January, Nketiah once again defended the need to start over.
And Arteta will now be more willing to give Gabriel Jesus a little rest over the festive period.
