Tottenham, under the leadership of manager Ange Postecoglou, is actively working to strengthen their squad this month. In fact, they have already made a bold move by initiating talks to sign one of the most highly-rated young players in Europe, outpacing their rivals Arsenal and Chelsea.
Their activity in the January transfer window has been impressive so far, with the loan signing of Timo Werner from RB Leipzig. And it seems the white half of north London is attracting young talent, with Radu Dragusin choosing to join the Postecoglou revolution at Tottenham instead of opting for a move to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
But the team is not stopping there, as they are now eyeing an ambitious move for Club Brugges winger Antonio Nusa. The 18-year-old is highly sought after by top European clubs, but Tottenham has already started negotiations for a potential €30m deal.
However, Nusa has expressed a desire to stay in Belgium for the rest of the season and make a permanent move in the summer. The winger, who is already a full international for Norway, had almost joined Chelsea on deadline day in August but decided to remain with Brugges where he could get regular playing time.
Nusa's transfer situation has also caught the attention of Arsenal, who have been on the lookout for a player to provide cover and competition for Bukayo Saka in the long term. In fact, the Gunners' captain Martin Odegaard is familiar with Nusa, having been impressed by his performance against Spain during a Euro 2024 qualifier in October.
Odegaard spoke highly of Nusa, saying, "It's always great to see Norwegian players making a name for themselves like this. When Nusa came off the bench, he immediately posed a threat to the opposition." It seems the young winger has caught the eye of top players in the Premier League.
But Nusa's failed move to Chelsea in the past has made him more cautious about any potential transfers. He openly admitted that he knew the move was not going to happen, but it was hard to ignore the financial aspect. However, he remains loyal to his current club and is focused on continuing his development there.
The competition for Nusa's signature is heating up, with Tottenham leading the charge. But it remains to be seen if they can convince the young winger to make the move to north London, or if he will choose to stay in Belgium for the time being. Either way, it seems Nusa has a bright future ahead of him.
