Arsenal Eyeing Move for Bundesliga Winger Nusa
The Premier League transfer window is set to reopen on Monday, and Arsenal are reportedly looking to bolster their squad with the signing of a Bundesliga winger. According to Shoot, the North London side are interested in RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa, as reported by CaughtOffside.
Nusa, 20, is a versatile winger capable of operating on either flank, and Shoot reports that the Gunners are one of a number of top European clubs showing interest in the player. The Norwegian has already made a name for himself in the football world, having played 15 times for Norway at international level, scoring five goals in the process.
Arsenal are not the only Premier League side interested in Nusa, with Chelsea, Everton, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United also credited with an interest. Italian champions Napoli are also reportedly keen on the player, who joined Leipzig from Belgian side Club Brugge last summer. During his debut season in Germany, Nusa made 36 appearances, scoring five goals and providing seven assists.
The report claims that Leipzig value Nusa at around £38 million, although it is unclear whether or not the interested clubs plan to realise their interest. As Shoot notes, Arsenal are one of a number of English top-flight clubs yet to make a signing this summer, despite finishing second in each of the past three seasons. Manager Mikel Arteta will likely want to bolster his squad before the start of next season, and the potential signing of Nusa could be a step in the right direction.
Nusa’s impressive form for both club and country has made him a hot commodity in the transfer market. As Shoot reports, the player has scored five times in just 15 appearances for Norway at senior international level, demonstrating his ability to perform on the biggest stage.
The transfer window reopening on Monday presents Arsenal with an opportunity to make a statement signing, and the potential acquisition of Nusa could be a significant coup for the club. As Shoot notes, the Gunners are eyeing a move for the talented young winger, and fans will be eagerly anticipating the club’s movements in the transfer market over the coming weeks.
Shoot will continue to provide updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.
