West Ham confident of signing 24yo Arsenal winger

West Ham United are reportedly confident of beating Crystal Palace to the signing of Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson.

The 24-year-old has already made the decision to leave the club and he is currently awaiting suitable proposals.

The Hammers and Eagles are both interested in securing his signature, but the former are reportedly leading the race.

Manager Julen Lopetegui has instructed the club to land the services of Nelson, who could be signed for £25m.

Arsenal have no plans of negotiating on the price, considering he has another three years left on his contract.

Nelson may not be the only graduate leaving the club this summer.

Emile Smith Rowe is currently on the radar of Fulham and Palace and he is expected to head for the exit door soon.

Eddie Nketiah is also attracting interest from Marseille in Ligue 1. He has already spoken with the club's officials.

The striker is said to be convinced of working under new manager Roberto De Zerbi. He could be signed for £30m.
