Sources: Tottenham and Chelsea in race to sign Nusa, £30m will seal deal

Tottenham and Chelsea also hold an ongoing interest in Fulham target Antonio Nusa, sources have told Football Insider.

Football Insider revealed on Friday (17 November) that Nusa is on the radar for Marco Silva’s Fulham side – with the 18-year-old’s versatility valued highly at Craven Cottage.

Both Spurs and Chelsea are also keen on the teenage attacker, who is making waves with Club Brugge in Belgium.

Nusa only signed a contract extension running until June 2027 earlier this year.

It is believed Club Brugge don’t want to lose the attacking sensation in January as they are going well in both the Belgian Pro League and Europa League.

A well-placed source has told Football Insider that they are likely to ask for a fee of around £30million to part with Nusa mid-season.

Brugge are hoping that Spurs and Chelsea’s interest will materialise into an auction for the attacker’s services, driving up his price tag.

Nusa has made 17 appearances across all competitions this term, notching two goals and three assists.

He has already racked up 53 appearances for the Belgian side and helped them win the Belgian Super Cup in the 2022-23 campaign.

The 18-year-old, who scored his first senior goal for Norway in September, can play on both flanks and as a centre-forward.

Tottenham are looking for attacking reinforcements in January following long-term injuries to Manor Solomon, Richarlison and Ivan Perisic.

Football Insider revealed on Friday (17 November) that Juventus sensation Samuel Iling-Junior is also a top target for Spurs.
