However, the winger could find the opportunity for some more first-team football in the Prem with the Hammers showing an interest.
According to The Telegraph, the Gunners have named their price for the academy graduate.
The East Londoners would have to pay a fee in the region of £15million-£20m for the ex-England youth international.
Nelson could be keen for the move as he has allegedly told Arsenal already he is considering leaving this summer.
This comes just a year after he penned a new long-term deal tying him to the North Londoners until 2027.
Nelson joined the club’s youth ranks way back in 2008 aged eight and has progressed through their academy into the first team.
After making his senior debut in 2017, he went on to play on loan at Hoffenheim and Feyenoord.
West Ham could face some stiff competition from a host of top-flight teams if he leaves the Emirates.
Both Crystal Palace and West Ham want to keep Nelson in London during the summer transfer window.
While Nottingham Forest have also shown interest in the player recently.
The Arsenal ace managed a mere total of one goal and three assists in 24 appearances last season.
