Arsenal are reportedly asking for between £15 million and £20 million for the 24-year-old winger. West Ham United are also interested in Nelson, but Leicester appears to be in a strong position to secure his services.
Nelson has struggled for regular game time at Arsenal, given the competition from Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Leandro Trossard. This move could offer him a more prominent role at Leicester City.
