Brentford head coach Keith Andrews<\/a> said: \u201cReiss has a skillset that will complement the rest of the attacking players we have. He\u2019s a dribbler and he\u2019s very comfortable with the ball at his feet. <\/p>\n \u201cI really like his Premier League<\/a> experience and know-how of the league, as well as his age profile. <\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s coming into the optimum years of his career, and he\u2019s shown a real desire to come here when there\u2019s been a lot of interest elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n Nelson joined Arsenal\u2019s Academy aged eight and made his debut in the 2017 Community Shield aged 17.<\/p>\n He 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. <\/p>\n The following term, Nelson made 24 appearances for Arsenal<\/a> in all competitions and netted the decisive goal against Liverpool in a 2-1 win at Emirates Stadium. <\/p>\n Nelson also scored from the spot to help Arsenal beat Liverpool<\/a> in the Community Shield at the start of the 2020\/21 campaign.<\/p>\n The forward 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.<\/p>\n Nelson returned to Arsenal the following season and, despite injury problems, he had an impact when he featured for Mikel Arteta\u2019s side, providing five goal contributions in 11 substitute appearances.<\/p>\n 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n
