5 Arsenal players who deserve new contracts

#1 Reiss Nelson

Wenger handed Nelson a chance to play against Manchester United

The youngster is dubbed one of the greatest prospects graduating from Arsenal academy. He has earned praise from his team-mates, club legends, and the manager in the past two years.

Fans are looking forward to seeing him make more appearances for the team alongside other youngsters such as Joe Willock, Eddie Nketiah, and Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The English player is quick on his feet and not afraid to throw himself into challenges. Although it is obvious that he still lacks experience in his play, there has to be a reason why so many agree that he has a promising future.

Unlike Nketiah and Maitland-Niles, Nelson has yet to sign a new long-term Arsenal contract. The player himself is keen to stay on as an Arsenal and he raves for more chances to play for the first-team.

It will be dependent on how the new manager deploys him in the team and how greatly valued he is. Youngsters such as Chris Willock and Marcu McGuane have left the Gunners for more first-team exposure. If the club continues to restrict the play of these up and rising stars, they could soon be seeking a move.

On a more certain note, this youngster ought to be offered a contract for him to prove his worthiness. He has starred in Premier League 2 times this season where he impressed when playing with the rest of the youngsters.

Wenger has also opted to bring him along in the first-team on multiple occasions, showing that there is indeed a trust in his talents and playing style. Nelson could soon be Arsenal's next superstar.
