AC Milan have not yet given up on the potential signing of Reiss Nelson even though there have been reports suggesting he is close to renewing with Arsenal.
Milan are in the market for a new right winger who offers more than Junior Messias and Alexis Saelemaekers in terms of attacking output, with a number of new names linked seemingly every day.
According to what is being reported by Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Milan are continuing to talk to Nelson’s agents having started the dialogue some time ago.
He says that ‘negotiations are ongoing’ but the idea of signing him remains ‘difficult’ because Arsenal are pushing to renew his deal, which expires at the end of the month.
Nelson only made 11 Premier League appearances this season for a cumulative total of 202 minutes, meaning most were off the bench. However, he scored three goals and added two assists in that time, therefore averaging a goal contribution roughly every 40 minutes.
