AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson on a free transfer.
Nelson, who has been with the Gunners since the age of nine, has worked his way through the youth ranks and up to the senior side where he has scored seven goals and provided seven assists in 61 appearances.
The 23-year-old has spent time out on loan with Hoffenheim and Feyenoord in the last few years, but he has remained part of the Arsenal squad for the 2022-23 campaign.
Nelson has been restricted to 13 appearances this season, but he has still contributed with three goals and three assists.
Despite having a strong affinity with the North London club, the Englishman's future could be nearing the exit door at the Emirates Stadium.

The Arsenal academy graduate is out of contract at the end of the season, and an agreement is yet to be reached on a new deal.
As it stands, Nelson will be available on a free transfer at the end of the season, which has alerted Italian giants AC Milan.
According to Football Italia, AC Milan are interested in bringing Nelson to Italy if fails to extend his stay with Arsenal.
Stefano Pioli's side are expected to sign a winger in the summer transfer window due to the uncertainty surrounding their current wide men.

Rafael Leao is set to enter the final 12 months of his contract, and he has been linked with a move away from San Siro this summer.
AC Milan are also concerned about the form of Ante Rebic and Charles De Ketelaere, who have both struggled in front of goal this season.
Rebic has registered just three goals in 29 appearances this term, while De Ketelaere is still yet to score for the Rossoneri after joining from Club Brugge last summer.
Nelson, who is reportedly keen to stay with Arsenal, will be currently focused on helping the Premier League leaders in their title bid.
