Unai Emery has poured cold water on rumours that Arsenal could recall Reiss Nelson from his loan at Hoffenheim, praising his performances.Arsenal sent Nelson out on loan to the Bundesliga in the summer, with Emery eager for the player ‘to take minutes’.Nelson has certainly done that in Germany, scoring five goals and assisting one in six league games.The 18-year-old has also featured in the Champions League, and will return to Arsenal at the end of his loan as a much-improved player.
Emery refused to confirm whether Arsenal are looking into recalling the teenager from his deal early, but did say that the club are delighted with his development.“At the moment we don’t speak about that,” he said.
“With Reiss, we are very happy with him at the moment.
