Bukayo Saka has now said that Arsenal teammate Reiss Nelson produced his favourite moment of the season.

Saka interviewed on the club’s official website on the way to training.

There have arguably been more memorable more during this campaign than in any since Arsene Wenger’s time at the club.

With just a few games to go, the Gunners are still in the title race, although Manchester City have the advantage.

All Mikel Arteta’s side can do is continue to put pressure on their nearest rivals.

They may feel like they’ve let the league slip away after three draws on the bounce and a defeat at The Etihad.

However, there’s still a huge amount to be proud of including a well-deserved return to the Champions League.

Arsenal have won plenty of games late on this season, with wins against Fulham and Aston Villa coming to mind.

Bukayo Saka has said that Reiss Nelson’s goal against Bournemouth was his favourite moment in an Arsenal shirt this season.

The scenes after his perfectly placed strike were unparalleled in terms of excitement at The Emirates.

It vindicated Arteta’s decision to back the in a high-pressure situation.

Nelson produced Saka’s favourite Arsenal moment this season

Asked about what his favourite game at The Emirates has been, : “I’d probably have to go with Bournemouth.

“Yeah, the Reiss Nelson last-minute winner, left-footed volley.”

Saka and Nelson may not be lining up together for much longer at Arsenal.

The 23-year-old’s contract at The Emirates expires at the end of the current campaign.

He’s reportedly rejected a contract offer from Arsenal, although he doesn’t have an agreement with any other team at this stage.

Multiple Premier League sides have been linked with signing him this summer.

In the nine league games he’s played this season, he’s scored three times and produced two assists.

Considering most of those appearances have been short cameos off the bench, his stats are quite good.

Nelson was pushed further down the pecking order at Arsenal by the arrival of Leandro Trossard in January.

It’s now looking less and less likely that he was a future at his boyhood club.

However, Nelson will always have that moment against Bournemouth that sent every Arsenal fan – and Bukayo Saka – absolutely mad.
