#4 Reiss Nelson
Arsene Wenger’s propensity to hand game time to youngsters in Arsenal’s pre-season has allowed many a footballers to leave a long lasting impression on the Emirates faithful. Reiss Nelson is the latest to join the fray.
The 17-year-old was handed a start in the Emirates Cup game against Benfica after impressing during the club’s pre-season tour of China and Australia, and the youngster made most of his chances.
The England Under-18 international was a constant threat on the right-wing, having been deployed as a right wing-back in the Gunners’ new 3-4-2-1 formation. The youngster caused problems for his opposite number with his pace and direct running, while also being surprisingly good at crossing the ball, as and when required.
His pace was also crucial as Arsenal looked to hit Benfica on the counter-attack and it is something that Wenger will be looking to use later on in games against tired defences.
Arsenal fans would be hoping that the 17-year-old goes on the realize the enormous potential he exhibited during the pre-season and not become one of those, who are oft hailed as one game wonders.
