Would personally prefer a better backup RW than an out-of-position Nelson, but he deserves a chance and will be cheaper than anyone we could get who would be willing to be behind Saka.

I think the aim with Nelson is to turn him into a general purpose rotational forward, who can play anywhere up the top. That way he should get enough game time and it wouldn't preclude us getting more dedicated backup for Saka and/or Jesus.

I feel like Nelson as a CF would be an incredible waste, but I could see him at midfield eventually.
