Arsenal opens talks with match-winner Reiss Nelson over a new contract 

Arsenal rewards the owner of the historic rebound against Bournemouth. English press reports revealed that Arsenal opened talks with match-winner Reiss Nelson over a new contract ahead of his current deal expiring this summer with the Gunners confident the winger wants to stay in north London. Reiss Nelson’s last-gasp winner saw Arsenal fight back from two goals down to beat lowly Bournemouth and maintain their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League. Nelson's future is uncertain with his current deal expiring at the end of the season. The 23-year-old winger is a graduate of Arsenal's famed academy but has made just eight appearances for the club this season and 56 in totals since hitting his stride in 2017.
Many questions have been raised about his future, with his current contract due to expire in the summer. The Daily Mail reports that discussions in north London over a contract renewal have reopened, with the former England under-21 international making a serious claim to an extended stay at Arsenal after scoring his 97th-minute winner in a 3-2 win over Bournemouth. Nelson previously scored a brace against Nottingham Forest in October but has since struggled with a thigh injury and remains sidelined under Mikel Arteta, but his dramatic appearance from the bench against Bournemouth saw him get his first competitive minutes of 2023.
Nelson's new contract may make sense for all parties involved, as the player is eager to play more minutes with the Premier League leaders, while Arsenal will be able to demand more for him in any future transfer if he is saved during the current time.
