New Premier League entrants Leicester City are interested in signing Arsenal outcast Reiss Nelson, who made 24 appearances for the Gunners last season and managed only one goal. He is currently traveling with the Arsenal squad for the pre-season tour in the United States.

Foxes manager Steve Cooper is eager to reunite with Nelson as the duo worked together in England’s youth teams. Cooper handed Nelson his debut in an England shirt when he was in charge of the U-16s squad.
