Leicester enter talks to sign Arsenal winger on loan — Leicester enter talks to sign

The 24-year-old is currently with the Gunners in their pre-season tour of the United States, but he is expected to leave the club pretty soon.

The Foxes have now opened negotiations with the Gunners and they are exploring a season-long loan with a mandatory buy option.

The Midlands outfit are confident of striking an agreement and Nelson is also interested in the move due to the presence of Steve Cooper .

Cooper, who is currently the Foxes' manager, previously coached Nelson when he was with the England Under-18s and Under-21s.

Nelson has been a fringe player for the Gunners over the years, and he has the chance to enhance his career with regular playing time.

Arsenal are likely to demand between £20-25 million for the attacker, who is also on the radar of West Ham United and Brighton .
