Arsenal track winger with 13 g/a in 14 games

Arsenal track winger with 13 g/a in 14 games Arsenal are tracking RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa, but they may struggle to complete the potential signing in January, according to a report. Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images Simon Collings reports for The S*n that Arsenal are tracking RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa as they consider additions for their attack, adding that the Gunners will be in the market for a forward in January. But Collings adds that a deal in the winter window will be hard to pull off, as Leipzig view Nusa as a key player they don’t want to sell mid-season. The club are also under no financial pressure to sell, following Yan Diomande’s big-money move to Real Madrid . Yet Nusa has a contract until 2029, so perhaps by next summer Leipzig will be thinking about cashing in or extending.

The vast majority of those goals and assists have come in German domestic football, but he did get off the mark in the Champions League with a goal against Manchester City on Wednesday. But Arsenal have been keeping an eye on Nusa for quite a while now, with reports initially emerging in 2023, when the player was still with Club Brugge.

Mikel Arteta hinted in his press conference on Friday that Arsenal will get reports on potential transfer targets from their international teammates, saying : “When we have the opportunity to talk to our players about some players that they share two or three weeks together with, it’s very valuable information. I think we all do that. “It is a big difference between the Premier League and international football and what is there. But there’s always a lot to learn.” Photo by Alex Slitz/Getty Images
