Arsenal step up pursuit of Antonio Nusa

Arsenal have intensified their pursuit of Antonio Nusa following his breakout 2026 World Cup, identifying the RB Leipzig winger as a priority reinforcement for Mikel Arteta’s attack. According to CaughtOffside, the club is weighing an initial offer of around forty million euros, though Leipzig’s valuation sits closer to sixty million. The need for a new wide option has grown after Leandro Trossard’s departure to Besiktas and uncertainty surrounding Gabriel Martinelli’s future, with Nusa’s pace and dribbling seen as ideal qualities to refresh Arsenal’s frontline.

Leipzig remain reluctant to negotiate, buoyed by Nusa’s standout tournament, where he helped Norway reach the quarter‑finals and scored a memorable goal against Ivory Coast. Arsenal also face competition from Newcastle and Juventus, raising the prospect of a bidding war. One potential advantage is Martin Odegaard’s influence, as the Norway captain could ease Nusa’s transition should Arsenal manage to strike a deal.
