The 18-year-old is an outstanding young talent who’s lighting up the Belgian top flight and surely it won’t be long before a big move beckons.
Nusa, a right-footer, mostly on the left flank at present, but he can also play on the right, at centre-forward, and even as a second striker.
Despite his young age, he has already clocked up 57 competitive appearances for Brugge and four senior caps for Norway.
Last year, Jacek Kulig of compared the youngster to Kylian Mbappe and rated his potential as 9.5 out of 10.
Meanwhile, described Nusa as “the Norwegian Neymar” and carried quotes from some of his coaches highlighting what a top talent he is.
“Antonio has some extreme skills with the ball that make him very exciting,” said Gunnar Halle, who managed Nusa at Norway Under-16 level.
“He can challenge, get past opponents and create imbalance, but what really sets him apart from others at that age is that he has finishing qualities as well.”
All in all, the £25million-rated prodigy looks like he has what it takes to shine at a club like Arsenal. However, the Gunners may have a lot of competition for his signature.
