Arsenal and Liverpool have entered the race to sign Club Brugge’s young talent, Antonio Nusa, who turned down an attractive offer from Chelsea over the summer, as per 90min.
Chelsea had made a bid of nearly £26 million for Nusa during the late stages of the summer transfer window, but the winger declined the opportunity to join Stamford Bridge.
The Blues will continue to closely follow his development in the upcoming months, but they are now facing strong competition for his signature.
According to 90min, both Arsenal and Liverpool are actively monitoring Nusa and have dispatched scouts to track his progress.

Additionally, there is significant interest from European clubs, with Borussia Dortmund, Olympique Lyon, AS Monaco, and Ajax also keeping tabs on the winger in anticipation of the January transfer window.
Despite his young age of 18, Nusa demonstrated a thoughtful approach to his career by declining Chelsea’s offer. His priority is to select the right club that can nurture his talents and development over the years.
The youngster joined Club Brugge in the summer of 2021, initially spending time in the youth team before making his breakthrough into the senior squad in 2022.
In the current season, Nusa’s impact on the first team has been on the rise. He has made 10 appearances, contributing with one goal and two assists for Club Brugge.
Now, several top European clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool, are pursuing the Norwegian wonderkid, and it remains to be seen whether they will follow Chelsea’s lead in formalizing their interest.

At Liverpool, their attacking prowess under Jurgen Klopp has been a standout feature. However, there has been a changing of the guard with players like Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino departing in recent years.
The future of Mohamed Salah at Anfield is also uncertain, with strong links to Saudi Arabian clubs. Consequently, every team needs to plan for the future, and signing promising players before their market value soars has become more crucial than ever.
Given his immense potential, it’s understandable why both Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on Nusa.
The young attacker has shown great promise and could potentially develop into a top-class player if he were to join either the Emirates or Anfield.
