Then the World Cup is over for Norway. We experienced the euphoria, the anticlimax against England in the semi-finals – and a fantastic finish with the World Cup heroes in front of the Royal Palace and at Karl Johan. For Antonio Nusa, a very exciting month starts before the start of the season. The 21-year-old showed he has just as much to offer on the wing as teammate Yan Diomande, who is being chased by Liverpool and PSG. Nusa is not surprisingly linked to several Premier League clubs, now it is reported that Martin Ødegaard’s Arsenal are ready to sign the Norwegian national team star for the title fight in the world’s toughest league.
German Football News reports Newcastle, Juventus and several other European clubs are monitoring Nusa’s situation, where RB Leipzig believe they can now demand at least €60 million for the 21-year-old. Arsenal are ready to do something more than be a spectator.

Because according to Caughtoffside’s sources , Arsenal are preparing bids of around €40 million for Antonio Nusa this month. The Norwegian international’s performances in the World Cup strengthened the club’s interest, and the 21-year-old is seen as a possible long-term solution on the left.
The opening bid is unlikely to open the door at RB Leipzig, but a start that shows Arsenal mean business.
Trossard has now left Arsenal on a £17 million transfer to Besiktas, this opens up for Nusa.
“Nusa’s ability to beat defenders and carry the ball under pressure would give Arsenal a different threat than their more possession-focused attacking players. Nusa would be an exciting replacement because he offers youth, directness, and true one-on-one quality. His relationship with Norway’s captain Martin Ødegaard can also help him establish himself quickly in North London, writes English Caughtoffside.
We can see Nusa being fed with balls by captain Ødegaard in title fights, both in the Premier League and Champions League.
