Why Arsenal and Reiss Nelson have agreed to contract termination
Reiss Nelson has left Arsenal with immediate effect after a mutual decision was made to terminate his contract.
The 26-year-old returned to the club this summer after spending last season on loan at Brentford.
Arsenal were keen to sell Nelson, who had entered the final year of his contract. That deal did include the option to extend for a further 12 months.
Talks took place with West Ham over a £3million, but progress was slow and there was some reluctance from Nelson to drop down to the Championship.
It has been decided that terminating his contract and allowing Nelson to become a free agent suits both parties.

Why Tottenham signed Omar Marmoush in 'statement of intent'
Tottenham insist they have made a “statement of intent” with the signing of Omar Marmoush.
Spurs completed the second part of their long-awaited high-profile double deal with Manchester City on Thursday, announcing the arrival of Marmoush on an initial season-long loan with an obligation to buy next summer for a fee of around £60million including add-ons.
It follows Tuesday’s signing of Brazilian winger Savio - AKA Savinho - from the same club in a permanent transfer that could be worth a total of £85m.
“Omar is a quality player and his arrival represents a statement of our intent,” said Tottenham’s sporting director Johan Lange.
“He has demonstrated that he can perform at the highest level, and we believe he can play a major role in what we want to achieve over the coming years.
“We are delighted to welcome Omar to the club and look forward to seeing him make a significant contribution as we continue to build a strong squad to realise our ambitions.”
