Brentford have reportedly made a late move and are set to sign Reiss Nelson from Arsenal, with the player on the way for a medical to complete a loan transfer.
The Gunners have made seven new signings already this summer, and an eighth one Piero Hincapie is set to put pen to paper before the window shuts. The priority for Arsenal now shifts to offloading players who no longer feature in Mikel Arteta's plans, as the club looks to streamline the squad.
The 25-year-old was on loan at Fulham last season but his campaign was ended by injury in December. His move to Brentford was agreed after the Bees accepted an offer from Newcastle for Yoane Wissa.
