Arsenal are considering Norwegian left-winger Antonio Nusa as a potential signing from RB Leipzig, according to sources close to the player, who have informed CaughtOffside.
The 20-year-old finished the 2024/25 season with an impressive nine goals and seven assists in all competitions for club and country, having played in a variety of attacking midfield positions.
Sources with a close understanding of Nusa’s situation have now informed CaughtOffside that he’s attracting interest this summer, most notably from Arsenal.
Multiple insiders in the industry also confirmed Arsenal’s interest to CaughtOffside, along with other clubs such as Chelsea, Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Everton, and Napoli.
However, it is not yet clear if Nusa, valued at around €45m by Leipzig, is a priority target for any of these clubs.
Could Antonio Nusa be heading to the Premier League?
Nusa only joined Leipzig last summer, but it seems he could already be on his way out of the club as other big names circle.
The former Club Brugge youngster is being monitored “closely”, according to one source, who also stressed that “no formal moves have been made” for the time being.
Arsenal appreciate Nusa and could step up their interest later, though for the moment their priority in talks with Leipzig is to finally get the signing of Benjamin Sesko over the line.
Antonio Nusa could strengthen Arsenal and Chelsea
Nusa is a big prospect who already has a decent amount of experience under his belt at the highest level, having played 137 senior games at club level, whilst also earning 15 caps for Norway.
Arsenal need someone with his skill and eye for goal from out wide as an upgrade on the inconsistent Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
As CaughtOffside has been told, Chelsea are also a little light in attack after Jadon Sancho’s loan came to an end, while other high-profile winger signings of recent years like Pedro Neto and Mykhailo Mudryk have flopped.
According to CaughtOffside, Nusa could be an attractive option for both Arsenal and Chelsea, as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
The report from CaughtOffside also suggests that Nusa’s versatility could be an asset for either team, having played in various positions across the attack.
With his talent and potential, it’s no surprise that Nusa is attracting interest from top clubs, and CaughtOffside will continue to monitor his situation closely.
