Arsenal are willing to let attacker Reiss Nelson depart on loan in January amid interest from Premier League clubs, sources have told Football Insider.

It is believed that sides from England as well as top European clubs have registered interest in signing the 24-year-old on a temporary basis in the winter window.

The Gunners do not want to lose Nelson permanently but are open to letting him leave the Emirates for the remainder of the season.

Arsenal rejected multiple offers for the Englishman before he penned a new long-term deal in north London last July.

He is reportedly earning over £100,000-a-week and was offered the bumper deal off the back of quality performances towards the end of last season.

Nelson has not featured heavily for Mikel Arteta's side this season and has played just 87 minutes in the Premier League.

The winger did notch the winning goal in their 1-0 EFL Cup third-round clash against Brentford in September but has struggled for game time.

Nelson is an academy graduate at Arsenal and has had a successful loan spell at Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, but lacked minutes during his time at Dutch giants Feyenoord.
