Hoffenheim are said to want to hold on to Nelson beyond this season, but the 18-year-old now makes it clear that he fancies a return to Arsenal.
"It was always going to be a challenge so when I got the offer to come out here I was excited, knowing it was going to be such a big challenge for me," Nelson told The Independent and added:
"At the moment I’m very happy here. I'm playing, I'm scoring, but I'm an Arsenal player at the end of the day, so I have to stay and do my job here, then wherever football takes me I'll go."
After coming through Arsenal's youth ranks, Nelson has made 16 appearances for the London club's first team.
