Nelsson is a 24-year-old Danish international who can play as a center-back or a holding midfielder.
He has a €25 million release clause in his contract, which is a relatively affordable price for a player of his quality.
Arsenal are also interested in signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi and Torino defender Perr Schuurs.
Guehi is a 21-year-old English international who is seen as one of the best young defenders in the Premier League.
Schuurs is a 22-year-old Dutch international who is also highly rated.
Arsenal currently have William Saliba, Rob Holding, and Gabriel Magalhaes as their main center-back options.
It is still too early to say who Arsenal will sign, but Nelsson is definitely a player to watch. He is a talented defender who could be a good addition to the Arsenal squad.
If Arsenal do sign Nelsson, he would be a good addition to their squad. He would provide competition for the other center-backs and could help the team improve defensively.
