A stellar start, injuries and struggles with the language have sent the Gunners forward on a steep learning curve.He was even dropped from the squad for the 2-1 win over Nurnberg earlier this month which boss Julian Nagelsmann described as an “educational measure”.“I was late to training, I was 20 minutes late, and that’s something I need to learn from,” Nelson said, ahead of England Under-21s’ friendly with Germany in Bournemouth on Tuesday.“You can make mistakes but it’s your job and you shouldn’t be late.“I held my hand up and I said sorry to him and we both moved on as bigger men.3

The England Under-21 international says he’s matured a lot during his spell in Germany

“He put me in the squad the next week because I’d been doing well.“I’ve been out there for 10 months by myself. It’s not been easy and I haven’t had my mum or my brother about.“I’ve got to do my own shopping, I haven’t got many friends out there but it’s my job and I’m there to play football. “When I do come back I do like to go out with my friends and see family because in Germany I’m on a mission.“I do like to enjoy myself when I’m back but that’s normal for a guy my age.“I don’t get homesick but my family are very good, they’ll fly straight over and my brother will come and stay for a month and my mum will come over any time I ask her.”

Six Bundesliga goals in his opening seven games earned the 19-year-old a Young Lions debut in October.He scored twice in his first two games – an impudent backheel helping the under-21s to a 6-0 win over Andorra to wrap up Euro 2019 qualification before netting in a 2-0 victory in Scotland.But since then form and fitness – Nelson suffered a back injury in January – has seen the forward struggle to make an impact and the young Gunner is yet to start in 2019 for Hoffenheim, who are ninth in the Bundesliga.3

The Arsenal youngster is on a season-long loan at Hoffenheim

He is in regular touch with Jadon Sancho, but while Sancho – who started in England’s 5-0 win over the Czech Republic on Friday – has become a star at Borussia Dortmund, Nelson is pragmatic with his own development.“Football is like that, you dip in form – especially at my age – but the main thing is you keep your focus,” he said, having played 24 times this term.“You know what your targets are. Mine were just to play for Hoffenheim and do well when I get the chance.“I always try to be positive but not expect too much of myself, just have a nice balance.“After injury I was a bit sluggish in training, but with the help from the guys at Hoffenheim, they spoke to me well and nurtured me back in slowly.”
