Arsenal and Tottenham have previously been linked with RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa, but the two Premier League clubs now face competition from AS Roma, who are also interested in signing the Norwegian attacker this summer, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
In addition to Nusa, Arsenal, Tottenham and Roma are reportedly keen on his international teammate Andreas Schjelderup. However, Benfica are unwilling to allow the 22-year-old to leave during this transfer window, prompting all three clubs to focus their attention on Nusa instead.
Roma join Arsenal and Tottenham in pursuit
Nusa has developed into one of Europe’s most exciting attacking players over the past few seasons, and he could be open to a move this summer if the right opportunity arises. His performances have attracted interest from several leading clubs, making him one of the most sought-after wingers on the market.
Roma may find it difficult to match the financial strength of the Premier League duo, but they are expected to pursue a deal regardless. The Italian club are determined to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season and believe Nusa could provide an important boost to their attacking options.
Nusa faces an important decision
Roma will compete in the Champions League this season and are eager to build a squad capable of challenging in both domestic and European competitions. Adding a player of Nusa’s quality would represent a significant statement of intent as they prepare for the campaign ahead.
Arsenal and Tottenham remain interested in the winger, meaning the competition for his signature could intensify if either club decide to make a formal approach. With several clubs monitoring his situation, Nusa could soon face an important decision regarding the next step in his career.
A move to the Premier League is often viewed as an attractive opportunity for many players, but it remains to be seen whether Nusa will choose Roma or wait to see if Arsenal or Tottenham step up their interest before the transfer window closes.
