Crystal Palace are reportedly speaking to the advisors of Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson over a potential £15m transfer deal.
The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Fulham after struggling for regular playing time at the Emirates Stadium, and it’s not too surprising to see that his future is still in some doubt.
It had looked like Fulham might sign Nelson permanently, but they have supposedly been unable to reach an agreement with Arsenal.
As such, Palace are now said to have entered the running to sign Nelson for around £15m, according to the Sun.
The report adds that Palace are in talks with Nelson’s advisors, with a permanent deal perhaps now looking likely after a series of loan moves.

Nelson came through Arsenal’s academy and looked a huge prospect when he first broke into the first-team.
However, things haven’t quite worked out for Nelson and there are now many players ahead of him in the pecking order.
Mikel Arteta has the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and new signings Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze to choose from out wide.
With Eze just joining from Palace, it could make sense for these two clubs to do business together again, with Nelson looking like he could be Selhurst Park-bound.

Oliver Glasner has done a fine job with this Palace side, over-achieving last season as they surprisingly won the FA Cup final.
One imagines Glasner could be an ideal manager to help Nelson improve and become a more consistent performer in the Premier League.
