Reiss Nelson has become the youngster TSG Hoffenheim player to score seven Bundesliga goals, after his effort against Hertha Berlin over the weekend.

Nelson was 19 years and 125 days old when he scored his seventh of the Bundesliga campaign for Hoffenheim, which made him over half a year younger than Roberto Firmino (19 years and 350 days) when the now-Liverpool man achieved the same feat.

It puts the teenager’s efforts this season into context again. The goal was Nelson’s first in a while, and with Kylian Mbappe, Jadon Sancho and Ousmane Dembele performing regularly for some of the top clubs in Europe, fan expectations on young players couldn’t be much higher.

If you ignore those obvious outliers and take Nelson’s season for what it is, it becomes a very good one.

Despite only recently turning 19, the winger has a goal every 84 minutes in one of Europe’s top five leagues. He’s only played 19 league games, starting just five, yet has more goals than any of the players in Arsenal’s first-team squad, excluding Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Clearly, he’s not the finished article, but the potential is there. If Nelson scored seven Premier League goals in just six-and-a-half games’ worth of minutes next campaign, he’d make a brilliant addition to the squad.
