Nelson attracting overseas interest

Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson is attracting interest from a number of overseas clubs with Benfica and Valencia among those monitoring his situation.

Nelson, 26, can leave the Emirates Stadium this summer with the attacker set to become a free agent at the end of next season.

He is understood to have turned down some Premier League interest, but is open to a move abroad this summer.

A move to Portuguese side Benfica could see Nelson reunited with their newly appointed manager Marco Silva, who has previously worked with him at Fulham.

Intriguingly, Fulham are among the English-based clubs interested in Nelson, which could see Silva go head-to-head for the winger's services just weeks after leaving Craven Cottage.

Nelson spent last season on loan at Brentford but has reported back for pre-season training with Arsenal.
