RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa has emerged as a target for Chelsea, with German outlet Fussball Daten reporting that the Premier League giants have stepped up their scouting efforts in recent months.
CHELSEA representatives are said to have attended multiple Bundesliga fixtures to track Nusa’s progress, and the Blues are reportedly preparing to formalise their interest with an offer ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 19-year-old, regarded as one of European football’s brightest attacking prospects, only joined Leipzig earlier this season but has already attracted renewed attention due to his electric pace, one-on-one ability, and versatility across the frontline.
Nusa’s rapid rise has long made him a player of interest for top clubs. Before moving to Germany, he was heavily linked with several Premier League sides while starring for Belgian outfit Club Brugge.
Leipzig ultimately secured his signature as part of their ongoing strategy of developing elite young talent — but the model also means they are historically open to major outgoing transfers when significant bids are tabled.
CHELSEA’s recruitment team is understood to be targeting wide attacking depth in the next phase of the club’s squad-building project.
Nusa’s ability to operate on either wing, as well as his potential long-term development trajectory, is believed to align closely with those plans.
Any potential move would likely be complex. Leipzig are under no pressure to sell and would expect a substantial fee to part with a player they see as central to their future. However, Chelsea’s status as one of the best Premier League teams and their Champions League ambitions could give them a competitive advantage should negotiations progress.
Nusa is viewed as a long-term project but one capable of contributing immediately in rotation. His strong dribbling profile and fearless approach in transition have drawn considerable praise, and scouts reportedly believe he could thrive in the Blues possession-based system with further refinement.
A formal bid from CHELSEA has not yet been submitted, but interest is described as “active,” and discussions are expected to accelerate as the transfer window approaches. Should the Gunners push ahead, Nusa could become the latest emerging star targeted for a move to Stamford Bridge.
