Nelson determined to fight for Arsenal place

Arsenal youngster Reiss Nelson has vowed to fight for his place at the Emirates Stadium.

The winger, who can also play in other positions, got his fourth start of the season in an FA Cup loss to Liverpool.

The 2-0 defeat not only stung for the team, but also meant that Nelson passed up another chance to impress coach Mikel Arteta.

Asked if he was more focused on playing regularly than going out on loan, he said: Yeah.

I have said this before, but Arsenal is my club since I was eight years old. Of course, I want to be playing much more than I am right now.

It's good to be coming off the bench, but I want to be starting. I feel like I am proving myself every day in training, so with this momentum I want to go on and keep playing more.

I signed my contract, I am here now and I have just got to prove to the boss that I deserve more minutes.

Like I said, when I get chances to play I can prove myself and show everyone what I can do."
