Tottenham interest in Antonio Nusa has intensified, with Spurs reportedly competing against Arsenal for the RB Leipzig winger.
The 21-year-old is valued at about £51million following an impressive season for club and country.
The Sun reports that Tottenham want to strengthen the left side of Roberto De Zerbi’s attack. However, the club may need to sell players before making a formal offer for Nusa.
Manor Solomon and Mikey Moore have attracted interest, while Wilson Odobert is recovering from a serious knee injury. Mathys Tel can also play from the left, but Spurs are seeking another established option for the new season.
Tottenham’s search has already included several wide players. ReadTottenham recently reported that Spurs submitted a verbal proposal for Chelsea winger Pedro Neto, although there has been no indication of an agreement.
Arsenal are also monitoring Nusa after missing out on Morgan Rogers. Roma could submit an offer worth £38million, while AC Milan view the Norway international as a possible replacement for Rafael Leao. Leipzig are seeking closer to £51million.
Why Tottenham interest in Antonio Nusa has grown
Nusa scored four goals and provided three assists in 31 Bundesliga appearances last season. He also featured six times at the World Cup and scored in Norway’s knockout-stage victory over Ivory Coast.
The winger operates mainly from the left but can move inside onto his stronger right foot. His pace and close control allow him to attack defenders directly, while his movement could suit De Zerbi’s possession-based approach.
Nusa would also provide a longer-term option alongside Tel, Moore and Odobert. However, Tottenham face strong competition and Leipzig have placed a significant valuation on a player contracted until 2029.
Tottenham interest in Antonio Nusa has not yet led to a formal bid. Sales may therefore decide whether Spurs move ahead of Arsenal and the two Italian clubs.
