NELS-GONE
ARSENAL winger Reiss Nelson has completed his season-long loan move to Feyenoord - but didn't look thrilled to be wearing his new kit.
The England Under-21 winger is set for his second loan stint away from the Emirates having spent 2018-19 at Hoffenheim.

Nelson, 21, made his debut for Arsenal aged just 17 in the 2017 Community Shield and has gone on to make 48 appearances for the club in all competitions.
But he has found himself out of favour under Mikel Arteta in recent months.
And with Feyenoord missing out on Manchester United ace Amad Diallo , the Eredivisie giants have swooped for Nelson.
Nelson tweeted his excitement at the move to Holland but his face told a different story as he looked sombre while posing in his new kit.
Appearing slightly more enthused, Nelson later tweeted: "New location, Rotterdam.
"Excited for what’s to come ahead with @Feyenoord!"

Speaking to the Feyenoord website, Nelson added: "I’m looking forward to playing in this fabulous stadium.
"Feyenoord is a great club and a nice challenge for me.
"I hope that I’ll be able to give the fans something to cheer about soon."
Feyenoord sporting director Frank Arnesen added: "We’ve been following Reiss for months now.
"Bringing him to Feyenoord in this transfer window was one of our priorities.
"We are very happy that we’ve managed that and that we are able to welcome him today.
"Reiss is a very creative forward, a rapid boy, good with his feet, who makes things very difficult for defenders in one-on-ones.
"We can really use a player like that in our forward line."
