Nelson has been offered a new deal to stay in North London beyond the end of the season.

But the 23-year-old is still considering his options.

According to the Mail, Brighton will offer Nelson a contract at the end of the campaign, provided he hasn’t extended with Arsenal by then.

They add that the Seagulls aren’t the only Prem side to have shown an interest in the Gunners academy graduate.

Nelson has played just eight times in the Premier League this term.

He has managed three goals in his limited minutes, however, including the dramatic, last-gasp winner against Bournemouth in March.

The wide man also bagged a double in the 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest earlier in the campaign.

Should Nelson depart, many Arsenal fans would be sad to see him go.
