Arsenal right winger Reiss Nelson's future remains up in the air. The 23-year-old's contract with the Gunners expires this year and he has turned down the first renewal offer made to him.

Reiss Nelson is not having the best of times as an Arsenal player. The right winger is unhappy with his role in the squad and could be set to leave the club this summer.

According to Fabrizio Romano the player has been offered a renewal by the Guners but has rejected it. In addition, the player knows that there are several clubs interested in him as his contract expires this year and he would be a free agent.

"Reiss Nelson has rejected the first new contract proposal made by Arsenal — but negotiations remain ongoing as final decision will be made at the end of the season," the Italian journalist wrote on Twitter. 

The 23-year-old winger has made just 15 appearances for Arteta's side, five as a starter. On the other hand, he has managed to score three goals and provide three assists in all competitions.
