Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly leading the race to sign 18-year-old Club Brugge winger Antonio Nusa, a target for Chelsea.
A report from Give Me Sport has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are working to sign Antonio Nusa, who is on the radar of Premier League rivals Chelsea as well. Spurs are reportedly the front-runners to sign the youngster. Meanwhile, Club Brugge want £25 million to part ways with him.
Antonio Nusa on the Move?
The 18-year-old is reportedly open to joining the North London club. The youngster is reportedly valued at £25 million, and Tottenham certainly have the financial muscle to afford him. It will be interesting to see if they can beat the competition from the other English clubs and sign the player.
The Norwegian winger has the potential to develop into a top-class player with the right coaching and guidance. The North London outfit could help him develop further and fulfil his tremendous potential in the coming seasons.
The 18-year-old does not want to leave the Belgian club this month. So, Spurs are prepared to sign him permanently and loan him back to Club Brugge until the end of the season. It remains to be seen whether they can complete the formalities of the transfer quickly.
Chelsea Also Want Antonio Nusa
Chelsea are keen on the winger as well, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to submit an official proposal for the player. The Blues are one of the wealthiest clubs in the country, and they should be able to afford the £25 million asking price without any problems.
However, they already have players like Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke at their disposal. It will be interesting to see how they accommodate Nusa in the starting lineup. The Norwegian winger will want to play regularly at this stage of his career, and he cannot afford to sit on the bench at a big club. He will probably seek game-time assurance from both clubs when they come calling.
Both Tottenham and Chelsea will be attractive destinations for Antonio Nusa, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Working under managers like Ange Postecoglou and Mauricio Pochettino will be an enticing option as well.
Both managers have done well to groom young players in the past, and they could play a key role in the Norwegian’s development. Tottenham are currently better-placed to secure Champions League qualification, which could give them an advantage in the transfer race.
