In a recent report, journalist Pete O’Rourke claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are set to rival Chelsea for Club Brugge starlet Antonio Nusa. It is understood that Spurs could face competition from the Blues as well as Fulham in the race for the Norwegian wide player.
Nusa’s Impressive Form In Belgian Football
Nusa has managed to catch the eye with his performances on the left side of Brugge’s attack during this campaign. The Langhus-born talent has banged in a couple of goals and earned three assists in 17 matches for the Norwegian outfit this season across all competitions.
The Norwegian sensation has been a decent performer on the offensive end of the pitch as he is averaging 2.3 shots, 1.4 key passes and 3.1 dribbles per game in the Jupiler Pro League. He has even been tidy with his ball distribution after making 81.3% of his attempted passes in the Belgian top flight (stats via whoscored).
Nusa is under contract at Club Brugge will expire in the summer of 2027 which could make it difficult for Spurs to arrange a cut-price move for him in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur Face Competition For Nusa: Is He A Prospect For The Future?
Nusa is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few dangerous runs with the ball out in the wide areas. He has got the vision to engineer some clear-cut chances for his teammates in the final third and can shoot the ball with venom and precision from long range.
The Norway international is a tidy passer of the ball as well. Hence, he would be a good fit for Tottenham‘s brand of football if he can make a smooth transition to life in England.
We can expect Nusa to add more depth to Spurs‘ match-day squad. At 18, he has the potential to become a world-class footballer in his position someday which makes him a great option for the North London club to pursue in the long run.
All in all, there is no denying that Nusa is a prospect to watch out for in the future, so Angelos Postecoglu should think about bringing him on board in 2024.
