Yes Sancho got 18 assists in all competitions this season. He is ahead of any English talentDoesnt sancho have like 10 assists more than him tho?
Was an OK cameo. Did not do much on the ball - few touches. His movement however was very, very good. It is a shame he wasn't picked out more often in the time he was on. They had about 4 more opportunities to play him in.
Encouraging that he got the goal, hopefully he can finish the season strong.
Bear in mind that Sancho had a headstart - played for Dortmund (as an attacker, not wingback) the season before and didn't have as big an impact as he had now. Importantly, he also had the trust of the Dortmund coaches. Now, I do think Sancho is the bigger talent overall, but marginally so. Nelson's first season performance-wise is not dissimilar to Sancho last season - where his quality was evident but didn't make the impact he is now making on the Bundesliga.Sancho only got 3 goals more than Nelson and he played more games if Nelson keep his head in the game he can be just like Sancho
Nelson does need to keep his head in the game, and not be discouraged - but similarly, he also needs to be trusted more often by his manager and by his teammates too. I would hope he gets that trust and backing here next season. Issue is, he will likely leave Hoffenheim with still a lot to prove. Nonetheless, my preference is that he stays at Arsenal and is trusted with more minutes, as he may not have any visible impact on build-up play but he's an effective attacker with a decent output in very little minutes.
Hudson-Odoi is an interesting example because the lack of quality from Pedro and Willian this season tells me that he should be playing WAAAAYYY more football than he has been this season. If he's to go back out on loan, its gotta be to a team that's going to play him - a team that needs him. If not, he's better off staying. As Nelson could be returning to a situation where he's the anomaly in the attacking profile at the club. Iwobi and Mhkitaryan have had bright spells but both have a propensity to underperform in their positions. Nelson probably has a better chance usurping them than he did usurping Joelinton and Kramaric at Hoffenheim!I kind of feel a loan might be the best option for him next season because of playing time, but I’m not sure. If we do feel he’s our future winger then giving him minutes here and sticking with him would be best for us. We have a lot more incentive to develop him than a loan team would.
If he stays though, do you see him getting similar chances as Hudson-Odoi has got this season? I’d be happy with that, anything less and he’s better off on loan.
Precisely my point. Emery wasn't going to trust Bukayo Saka with those minutes. Despite his rawness, Saka's explosive, strong and a menace capable of dribbling and scoring/creating. (Amaechi was injured for a while so didn't mention him). Nelson would have been a good option to have. He should be an option for us next season IMO.I feel like if Nelson had been a squad option here in the last few month he would've got game time. There were plenty of moments where the team was crying out for something different, yet all we had on the bench was more of the same. Perhaps if Nelson had still been around we could've given him a chance instead of shoehorning Kolasinac into the side because he was the only real provider of width.
I'm not sure about that considering one of our options, Suarez, isn't getting any gametime. Emery seems content with rotating the Laca/Auba/Özil/Mkhi/Iwobi quintet.I feel like if Nelson had been a squad option here in the last few months he would've got game time.

A few months ago when Miki was out for 6 weeks, Özil was AWOL and Suarez hadn't signed yet there was an opening for him imo. Can think of the Brighton, West Ham and BATE games in particular where we had few options on the bench to change things up.I'm not sure about that considering one of our options, Suarez, isn't getting any gametime.

We have zero wingers currently, so even if we buy one we could use Nelson for rotation.Unless we buy a winger Nelson should be in the first team next season, purely because he offers something which none of our other players do
I think perhaps it's better if Nelson went to Championship/Lower table PL than sit on our bench. We can give the minutes to Saka/Ameachi.I'd say keep Nelson at the start of next season, and if he doesn't get much time send him on loan in January.
A loan to a mid-table German or Spainish club will be the best option.I think perhaps it's better if Nelson went to Championship/Lower table PL than sit on our bench. We can give the minutes to Saka/Ameachi.
We should keep him at AFC if and only if Emery gives him, say, 45 minutes every 3 games.
