Reiss Nelson

Analysis: Nelson made 14 appearances across all competitions during his time in west London, scoring in October's 5-0 Carabao Cup victory against Grimsby Town and assisting once off bench in the Premier League. Director of football Phil Giles acknowledged Nelson would have preferred more Premier League minutes but praised his positivity, attitude and experience around the training ground and matchdays, noting he leaves the club in better physical shape than when he arrived having not played significant minutes since December 2024 while on loan at Fulham prior to joining Brentford.

Assist from bench

Nelson assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 2-1 loss against Manchester United.

Analysis: Nelson only appeared off the bench for 17 minutes Monday, but did well with his little time on the field, finding Mathias Jensen in the 87th minute for a goal and assist. This does come as the attackers' first goal contribution of the season, taking five shots and two chances created to reach that mark. However, he is yet to start a match, with all nine appearances from the bench.
