Norway’s Nigerian-born winger, Antonio Eromonsele Nusa could be off in a sensational £51m transfer this summer from RB Leipzig of Germany to a top club in the English Premier League, just a year after arriving from Club Brugge of Belgium for only £18m.
Sports247 gathered that this is sequel to interest expressed in the fast-rising youngster by Newcastle United as well as the London-based duo of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, who have all been impressed by Nusa’s exploits at the ongoing FIFA World Cup.
Although his impact with The Vikings has largely been overshadowed by the lethal quality of Norway’s top player, Erling Haaland, Nusa, who earlier notched a wonder goal during the group stage of this year’s Mundial, is rated high due to his equally effective ability on both wings.
Fondly hailed as ‘Neymar of Norway,’ Nusa is also renowned for his explosive pace and direct playing style, while also providing a significant threat on the counter-attack, which has endeared him to Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle, as the EPL trio look to outbid one another in their race to snatch the mulatto lad.
A featurised survey and report by Tribal Football revealed, “Arsenal and Tottenham have joined Newcastle in the race to sign him. Spurs were previously interested in him before he went to Leipzig, of course.
“The Magpies would appear to be the most desperate to get Nusa to put pen to paper, having lost Anthony Gordon to Barcelona. Not to mention Sandro Tonali’s departure to Tottenham and the potentially devastating consequences of Bruno Guimaraes wanting to move to Arsenal.
“The North London duo haven’t been put off by the rumoured £51m transfer fee that his current employers RB Leipzig have put on his head. That would represent a healthy profit for the Bundesliga outfit, which signed the 21-year-old from Club Brugge in August 2024 for just £18m.”
