Feyenoord complete Reiss Nelson deal from Arsenal
Mundo Deportivo reports Feyenoord has wrapped up their summer with Reiss Nelson, signing after agreeing to end his Arsenal contract.
Feyenoord, set to face FC Barcelona in the 2026-27 Champions League, have closed their summer business with a clear signing: the arrival of Reiss Nelson from Arsenal. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Rotterdam club finished their Eredivisie window on September 2, following Nelsonâs agreement to terminate his contract with the Gunners.
A quick European debut
The article also suggests the plan is to get Nelson into action as soon as possible. Mundo Deportivo writes that manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst could use him at the next Champions League date, with a potential debut coming on Wednesday 9 at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Fitness and form questions
The move looks exciting, but it doesnât come without doubt. Mundo Deportivo points out that Nelsonâs readiness is an issue after last season: during his loan spell at Brentford he played only 13 matches. Itâs also not a totally new environmentâhe spent time at Feyenoord on loan in 2022, when he contributed 4 goals and 7 assists in 32 games across all competitions, including the clubâs inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League final.
20 million euros of reinforcements
This signing sits inside a broader recruitment plan. Feyenoord added Nacho Ferri (9 million from Eintracht Frankfurt), goalkeeper Tjark Ernst (5 million from Hertha Berlin), and other players including Florian Kastenmeier, Charles Vanhoutte, Mika MĂĄrmol and Javi LĂłpez (with a purchase option worth 7 million). Mundo Deportivo puts the total reinforcement spend at 20 million euros.
