Leandro Trossard’s departure has created an immediate opening, while uncertainty surrounding Gabriel Martinelli’s future means Arsenal may need more than one wide attacking option.
The latest target would offer explosive dribbling, positional flexibility and considerable resale potential, although RB Leipzig’s valuation could create a difficult negotiation.
Arsenal ready to test Leipzig with an opening offer
Sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside that Arsenal are preparing an offer worth around €40m for Antonio Nusa this month.
The Norway international’s performances at the World Cup strengthened the club’s interest, with the 21-year-old viewed as a possible long-term solution on the left.
That opening figure is unlikely to satisfy Leipzig. Get German Football News reports that the Bundesliga side want at least €60m, with Newcastle, Juventus and several other European clubs also monitoring his situation.
Leipzig would prefer to retain Nusa, but their stance could change if a major offer arrives.
Nusa helped Norway reach the World Cup quarter-finals and produced one of the tournament’s memorable individual moments with a brilliant goal against Ivory Coast.
His ability to beat defenders and carry the ball through pressure would give Arsenal a different threat from their more possession-focused attackers.
