Arsenal have been linked with Norweigan wonderkid Antonio Nusa in recent weeks, and it is easy to see why they want him.

The 18-year-old has had an incredible start to the season with Club Brugge, scoring twice and assisting twice in six games, and is now on Arsenal’s radar for a potential January move.

Nusa came off the bench for Norway in their 1-0 defeat to Spain, to play alongside Martin Odegaard, and in just 30 minutes he delivered an electric display.

Broadcaster Sophie Nicolaou has now expressed her astonishment at his performance, and claimed that Arsenal should do everything possible to sign him.

Nicolaou blown away by Nusa

Speaking on the Highbury Squad YouTube Channel, Nicolaou told former Gunner Kevin Campbell that Nusa’s quality was obvious from the very first minute of his appearance.

“This young kid I was watching for Norway. That wonderkid for Norway. You just see his quality,” she stated.

“Kev [Campbell], he came on for 20 minutes in the second half and I literally turned round to the Norwegian media and I was like ‘Who is this kid and why hasn’t he signed for Arsenal yet?’

“He was so impressive. Kev, I’m telling you, this player. Oh my gosh, wow. I was blown away by him.”

Nusa’s performance

Nicolaou was right to be amazed by Nusa, as the teenager came on and terrorised the Spanish defence.

In his substitute appearance, he completed three dribbles, won five duels, made three passes into the final third and had a shot on target.

His speed and incredible skill were on full display, but despite his efforts, Norway fell to defeat in what was a crucial qualification game for them.

Arsenal have been linked with Pedro Neto as Mikel Arteta aims to strengthen his attacking options, but he may also consider Nusa as a potentially world-class talent for the future.
