The England youth international started the side’s first Premier League game of the season as they ran out 1-0 winners against Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United.
Nelson’s first-team integration comes following a successful loan spell away at Bundesliga side Hoffenheim. The winger managed to score eight goals in 31 appearances.
Arsenal host Burnley in their first home game of the new Premier League season. And with Mesut Ozil reportedly set for more games on the sidelines, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan not impressing against Newcastle (highlighted by the Daily Express), Nelson could get another start under his belt.
Fans are getting excited by the youngster’s talent and took to Twitter to tweet their thoughts.
Here is a selection of tweets from the North London faithful:
Hale End is the best academy in the UK, no debate required

He’s shown great things since the pre-season but still needs time. He’ll grow a lot this season

They way he cushions and controls the ball.
