Arsenal teammates hail natural talent Reiss Nelson

Published on: 02 December 2017

Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin is full of praise for young teammate Reiss Nelson.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger spoke glowingly of Nelson after his cameo off the bench in a 1-0 defeat in Cologne last month and he is not the only one who has seen how quickly Nelson has made the grade.

“When you see him play, even at wing back, you can tell he's an attacking player," Bellerin said. “Every time he's on the ball he tries to make things happen, he looks really comfortable and he's also someone who understands the Arsenal game.

“When you compete against teams in the Europa League and you're able to adapt from a No.10 role to a wing-back role, I think that's remarkable at that age."

Bellerin added: “Reiss is one of the players who, since they've stepped onto the first-team training pitch, has shown that there's something quite different about him. He's got a great attitude, he's got a great style of play and is someone who, when he goes to the under-23s now, he will go and score every single week."
