Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed a potential Brighton & Hove Albion move for Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson hinges on the future of head coach Roberto De Zerbi.

Nelson has fallen down the pecking order at the Gunners this season. The winger has yet to start a Premier League game for the North London outfit, despite penning a long-term contract extension in the summer of 2023.

The 24-year-old looks set to leave the Emirates in a bid for more playing time – and Romano has revealed the Seagulls are set to reignite their interest in the former England under-21 international.

Albion were interested in bringing Nelson to the Amex in the summer before his new deal, and the club reportedly still ‘appreciate the player’.
