​Arsenal hero Wright urges Arteta to start Nelson ahead of Willian | OneFootball

Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes manager Mikel Arteta should be giving more game time to Reiss Nelson.

The youngster has not gotten as much game time as some would like this season, as the Gunners have lost five of their first ten Premier League games.

Wright does not believe summer signing Willian has impressed, and would rather see Nelson or Bukayo Saka on the right flank in his place.

"I'd try to throw something else into the mix, Reiss Nelson or even [Bukayo] Saka on the right," Wright said on Ringer FC's 'Wrighty's House' podcast.

"But Saka's going to be on the left so I'd put Reiss Nelson on the right instead of Willian because we know what Willian's going to do.

"For me he's been a little bit negative with the way he's been playing, a lot of backwards passing. You need somebody who can at least get back and progress the ball.

"If Saka can go and really put pressure on [Serge] Aurier, that's where I think if we're going to get any kind of joy then I think Saka's got to go up there and put pressure on him, then [Granit] Xhaka can pull in on the left, just to put that body in there then [Mohamed] Elneny should hold."
