Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell suggests Reiss Nelson will get more chances this season.

The 21-year-old was set to leave on loan in the winter, but the club decided to keep him around.

Nelson is on the fringes of the first team, and Campbell believes he will get more chances as the season progresses.

"Reiss Nelson is still in and around the squad and we've seen injuries happen and players having to come in and hit the ground running," he told Football Insider.

"He went on loan last season and done okay, so he's had a long spell of first-team football. But I think he needs more football because he's not really getting a lot of football at Arsenal."

"It was an interesting one [loan speculation] but it hasn't quite happened for him."
