Reiss Nelson Wants To Become An Arsenal Legend When Comes Back From His Hoffenheim Loan Spell

Arsenal youngster Reiss Nelson has claimed he wants to return from the Bundesliga to become a legend at The Emirates.

Reiss Nelson joined Hoffenheim on loan in August shortly after signing a new long-term contract with the Gunners.

Nelson won the German league’s ‘rookie of the month’ award for October in a hugely promising start which has seen him score six goals in seven games.

“Arsenal are my boyhood club,” he told BBC Sport. “I’ve been with them since I was eight, so that’s 10 years.

“I just want to go back there stronger because at the time I was at Arsenal I was 16, 17 and I didn’t feel confident.

“I didn’t think I was a man, but now I’m feeling stronger and I think a couple more months or even a year in Hoffenheim will make me strong and give me the belief and confidence to go back to Arsenal and do very good there.

“I want to be an Arsenal legend. And, for England, it’s the best. You can’t beat playing for your country I don’t think.”
