Antonio Nusa, an attacker for Club Brugge, is rumored to be of interest to Chelsea, but rival Tottenham is moving to try and beat them to the transfer.
This week’s new transfer rumors suggest as much.
Antonio Nusa, a promising 18-year-old, has recently been connected to the Blues.
Substack journalist Ben Jacobs recently reported that Chelsea board members had internally discussed Brugge teenager Nusa as a possible target.
The past 24 hours have seen a dramatic increase in this transfer drama!
First off, according to HLN’s report yesterday, Spurs and Brugge are in talks for Nusa’s signing this month, with a reported fee of €30 million (£26 million). It was supposed that he would sign in January and then go back to the Belgian league to play for Brugge on loan for the remainder of the season.
Spurs are in talks to sign the 18-year-old forward, according to a report by journalist Sacha Tavolieri via X this morning. However, he continued, the London team does anticipate competition from Premier League rivals.
Chelsea may be preparing a bid to acquire Nusa in the summer, according to reports.
Antonio Nusa’s interest in Chelsea
Nusa’s profile seems to fit the Chelsea ownership’s plan exactly on paper.
The left winger for Brugge is incredibly skilled and quick. Additionally, he is already a senior Norway international.
Is there still time for a dramatic turn of events in the story? Recent rumors suggest that Spurs will exert all of their effort to close this deal.
Chelsea supporters will now get acclimated to the team’s future focus on all these up-and-coming talent. The squad’s average age is actually getting younger and younger with each new window.
But, rather than pursuing another bright young player, we believe that the Blue hierarchy should be entirely focused on acquiring a seasoned senior center-forward.
Nusa, incidentally, has made 62 appearances for Brugge’s first team, tallying six goals and four assists.
