Reiss Nelson joined Brentford on a season-long loan from Arsenal for the 2025/26 season, signing on Deadline Day of the summer transfer window.

He began his career at Arsenal’s Academy aged eight and made his debut in the 2017 Community Shield aged 17.

The winger has had a series of loan spells during his career, with his first for German side Hoffenheim in 2018/19, where he scored seven goals in the Bundesliga.

The following term, Nelson made 24 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions and netted the decisive goal against Liverpool in a 2-1 win at Emirates Stadium.

Nelson also scored from the spot to help Arsenal beat Liverpool in the Community Shield at the start of the 2020/21 campaign.

He spent 2021/22 on loan at Eredivisie side Feyenoord, featuring 32 times and playing a key role in the run to the Europa Conference League final, where they lost to Roma.

Nelson returned to Arsenal the following season and, despite injury problems, he had an impact when he featured for Mikel Arteta’s side, providing five goal contributions in 11 substitute appearances.

He made 23 appearances for the north Londoners in 2023/24, contributing two assists in the Champions League and scoring in the Carabao Cup against Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium.

In 2024/25, Nelson spent the season across west London on loan at Fulham. After a promising start, his season was cut short after picking up a hamstring injury.
