Academy product Reiss signed a long-term contract in summer 2023 and made 23 appearances for us last term, scoring in the Carabao Cup and contributing two assists in the Champions League.
His 2022/23 campaign included a memorable 97th minute winner in the 3-2 home win over Bournemouth in March 2023 – a strike that won him the Premier League Gamechanger of the Season award.
The winger, who often plays on the right but can play anywhere in the forward positions, joined our academy aged eight and made his debut in the 2017 Community Shield aged 17.

He also scored from the spot to help beat Liverpool in the Community Shield in 2020.
He spent 2021/22 on loan at Eredivisie side Feyenoord, playing 32 times and playing a key role in the run to the Europa Conference League final.
