The final week of the summer transfer window is here, and Arsenal are looking to get some players off their books.
The Gunners have made several top signings, with Andrea Berta going on a spending spree that has topped £250 million so far.
There may be one more in the works, as Arsenal are interested in Piero Hincapie in the final days of the market.
With such a high spend, there will naturally have to be some outgoings that follow, as a few players face an uncertain future.
Some stars don’t seem to have a place in the team under Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, which opens up the possibility of a move.
Now, one player who has been linked with a move has been spotted with a potential new teammate.
Reiss Nelson spotted with Fulham star Calvin Bassey amid transfer links
Reiss Nelson is facing a possible exit from Arsenal this summer, as he has failed to be included in any of the squads for the opening two matches of the season.
The Hale End academy star spent much of last season on loan at Fulham, but injuries hampered his progression as he returned to the Gunners for rehabilitation.
Now, fit and firing again, all things point towards an exit, as Fulham are interested in re-signing Nelson before the summer transfer window closes.
With that in mind, the Arsenal winger was actually spotted with a former teammate of his, who he could reunite with.
Calvin Bassey, who joined Fulham from Ajax for £19.3 million, posted a Snapchat story which featured him alongside Nelson in the car.
While it may not necessarily mean a deal is done, as the pair could be good friends, it may well be a small hint at the current ongoing saga surrounding the 25-year-old.
It remains to be seen if a deal will get done, but time is running out for it to be completed.

How Reiss Nelson performed over his loan spell at Fulham
The past season has been tough for Reiss Nelson, who has shown elements of being back to his best, but with injuries thrown in the mix to disrupt it.
In the end, the Arsenal winger made 12 appearances for Fulham on loan, scoring twice and assisting once over that spell.
| Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | 2 | 1 |
Fulham boss Marco Silva was full of praise for Nelson early on in the loan, when he said: “A very good first half, he probably should have scored because he created the best moments.
“He’s made a good impact on our squad so far and is going to help us to be stronger throughout the season.”
Nelson will be pushing to make a similar impact if he manages to get the deal sorted in time.
