Arsenal’s left‑wing gap makes Nusa the obvious choice, Romano says

Antonio Nusa has been linked with a move to Arsenal. RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa has been told that moving to Arsenal would be the “completely obvious option” for him. Arsenal have been performing well this term with eight wins from their first nine matches giving Mikel Arteta’s side a three‑point lead at the top of the Premier League.

The Gunners brought in Christos Tzolis to improve their attacking areas over the summer but Arsenal lost more with Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard. Arsenal are being linked with new attackers ahead of the January transfer window with one report claiming the Gunners are ‘confident’ of landing RB Leipzig winger Nusa.

January move looks difficult

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano insists that a deal in January for Nusa would be “difficult” for Arsenal or any other interested club. Romano explained on his YouTube channel that in the January window it will be difficult because Leipzig already generated a big amount of money last summer with Ousmane Diomandé, a big sale, same position winger. Romano said generating big money to sell Nusa in January would probably kill the excitement up front for this team and would need a crazy proposal.

Leipzig’s plans and January prospects

Romano noted that Leipzig’s original plan in February/March 2026 was to keep the player, offer a new contract, put a clause and sell him in 2027, but big proposals made that impossible. Romano said it is unlikely Nusa will move in January, though interest is growing with many top clubs sending scouts and talking with people close to the boy, and something could happen in 2027 but no guarantee for January.

Løkberg hails Nusa’s potential and price

Former Norwegian midfielder Kristoffer Løkberg insists his compatriot’s potential is now “exploding” amid interest from several clubs with Arsenal the “completely obvious option”. Løkberg told Bakrommet via Nettavisen that Nusa is one of the world’s most exciting left‑wingers and big clubs can no longer sit on the fence, they must act quickly before he disappears. Løkberg said that in today’s football Nusa is worth quite a lot and that they are prepared to pay over 500m NKK (€48m).

Price tag and alternative suitors

Løkberg added that Leipzig hope Premier League clubs express interest seriously because that is where the biggest money lies. Løkberg said the completely obvious option in the Premier League is Arsenal, the player fits their style and the club has a real need, only Tzolis and a slightly half‑hearted Eberechi Eze on the left wing. Løkberg concluded that PSG should not be forgotten; with Khvitsja Kvaratskhelia out, Nusa could fit there, but he may prefer everyday life in the Premier League where competition is tougher.
