Football Manager 2020: 10 Expected Wonderkids You Must Sign

8. Reiss Nelson - Arsenal

While many rightly lavished praised on Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho last season as he tore up the Bundesliga, another young English winger was quietly impressing for Hoffenheim. On loan from Arsenal, Reiss Nelson managed to bag himself 7 goals in 19 appearances for 1899, and the youngster is now hoping to be given a chance with the Arsenal first team with the 2019/2020 campaign on the horizon.

Having been at Arsenal since he was just 9-year-old, the 19-year-old Nelson is seen by many to have the same potential as the aforementioned Sancho. By simply being given a chance by Dortmund, Sancho has gone on to become a full England international and one of the hottest young talents on the planet. If afforded a similar opportunity, Nelson could well follow in the footsteps of his compatriot and close friend.

Due to his age, you may have to pay a premium price to add Reiss Nelson to your FM2020 side, but this could well be a price worth paying. With his versatility of being able to play anywhere across the front-line, Nelson offers so many options for aspiring managers.
