Crystal Palace open talks to sign Arsenal winger

Crystal Palace have opened talks with Arsenal for the purchase of Reiss Nelson before the transfer deadline, according to The Sun.

The 25-year-old is expected to leave the Gunners this summer to secure regular first-team football. Fulham were keen on landing him earlier last month, but are not keen on committing to a loan with a buy obligation.

As a result, the Eagles have jumped ahead in the transfer pursuit and are ready to pay around 15 million pounds for the winger before the window closes.

The south London outfit have already landed Yeremy Pino from Villarreal for 20 million pounds, and are now negotiating personal terms with Nelson for a quick deal.

Alongside Nelson, the likes of Jakub Kiwior, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira and Albert Sambi Lokonga are expected to leave in the near future.

Kiwior is determined to join Porto on loan with a buy obligation, but a deal depends on the Gunners signing Bayer Leverkusen star Piero Hincapie.
