Move over Jadon Sancho. Reiss Nelson is the wonderkid taking the Bundesliga by storm. Only 18, fellow Arsenal loanee already has 5 goals in 6 appearances in the league. Now in his allegiance with the German club Hoffenheim, the youngster has made an impressive start to life in Deutschland.

Nelson was mostly used as a full-back under Arsene Wenger last season. Following the Frenchman's departing orders, the loan move came as much of a surprise to the Gooners as he was presumed to be featured heavily under Unai Emery. The decision unexpectedly turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

The youngster hit the ground running on his debut scoring within 14 minutes of entering the pitch. He hasn't looked back since then. He earned his first Man of the Match following a sensational performance with a brace away to Nurnberg. Only Ousmane Dembele (6) is a foreign teenager to have scored more than Nelson (5). It is only November.

The Englishman has been prominently used as a right-winger. He has also provided Julian Nagelsmann with versatility being used as a central midfielder and left winger at times. An ace up his sleeve is his extraordinary eye for the goal. Timing his arrival to perfection at dangerous positions is one of his trademark abilities. Gifted with electric pace and breathtaking dribbling expertise, he is destined to become one of the greats for the Three Lions too.

His rise to prominence has been meteoric but not mistaken. Arsenal lovers will hope that he continues the dazzling displays and returns to North London as experienced personnel.
