Arsenal are looking to add a winger to their ranks, and RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa is the latest to be mooted as a potential option.
Nico Williams is widely understood to be Mikel Arteta’s dream signing, but the Gunners could instead turn their attention to a cheaper alternative.
Nusa impressed for Norway in a recent World Cup qualifier against Italy alongside Martin Odegaard, catching the eye with an electric display.
So, with Arsenal considering making a move for the wide man, here’s a look at everything you need to know about Antonio Nusa.
Who is Antonio Nusa?
Antonio Nusa is a professional footballer for RB Leipzig, signed from Club Brugge last summer after coming through the ranks at Norwegian club Stabaek.
Breaking through at Stabaek at the age of just 17, Nusa left for Belgium in the summer of 2021.
Spending three years at Brugge, Leipzig secured his signature last year, and he’s since played a bit-part role in Germany.
How old is Antonio Nusa?
Antonio Nusa was born on April 17, 2005, which makes him 20 years old at the time of writing.
He’s still very early in his professional career and has several years ahead of him.
Antonio Nusa height
In terms of height, Antonio Nusa measures in at approximately 1.8 metres tall, or roughly five feet and eleven inches.
Where is Antonio Nusa from?
Antonio Nusa was born in Oslo, Norway, to a Nigerian father and a Norwegian mother.
The starlet has featured for the Scandinavian national team several times, having played for the country’s under-16s, 18s, 19s and 21s before that.
Antonio Nusa position
Antonio Nusa is predominantly a left-winger, although he has demonstrated versatility throughout his short career thus far, being deployed in a few other roles.
Spending time on the right, he’s also played as a wing-back on a few occasions.
Antonio Nusa stats
Contributing to seven goals in his final season at Club Brugge, Antonio Nusa’s output improved in Germany, despite largely being a sporadically used squad player.
While he’ll hope to offer slightly more in the final third in the future, the Norway international still managed five goals and six assists in a poor Leipzig team last season.
