Arsenal wonderkid reveals the player who convinced him to join Hoffenheim

Arsenal wonderkid Reiss Nelson has revealed that Jadon Sancho persuaded him to join Hoffenheim on loan in the summer. “Jadon knows I like one against ones, he knows I’m a fast player and said there were a lot of those opportunities," Nelson explained. "We’ve got a lot of similarities so he said I should go over there and that’s how I can show my brilliance." Nelson scored off the bench in England’s 7-0 thumping of Andorra before finding the net with a magnificent free-kick in a 1-0 victory over Scotland.
