Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with a move to sign Antonio Nusa, a player who shares a very similar profile to Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli.

Spurs are not messing around in this month’s transfer window. They’ve already brought in Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin, and it looks like Nusa is the player they want to sign next.

Tottenham target Antonio Nusa is very similar to Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli

Numerous reports claimed yesterday that Tottenham have opened talks with Club Brugge to sign Antonio Nusa in the coming days.

The Norwegian is one of the most exciting young talents in Europe at the moment, and everybody knew it was only a matter of time before he moved to a bigger club.

Brugge aren’t against selling Nusa, but the one thing they’ve asked Tottenham to guarantee is that they will loan him back to the Belgian club until the end of the season.

Tottenham are right to target Nusa. He has all the qualities to succeed at the top level, and if CIES Football Observatory is to be believed, he’s very similar to Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli.

CIES released a list of players under the age of 25 in the world with the ‘closest’ profile to the Brazil international, who is a fan favourite at the Emirates.

Alongside the likes of Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, the list names Antonio Nusa, suggesting that the Norwegian is comparable to Martinelli.

Nusa could become a star at Tottenham

Tottenham’s left wing has been incredible for years now thanks to Heung-min Son.

The South Korean is one of the best players in the Premier League, and when he’s in form, it’s incredibly difficult to stop Tottenham.

However, Son isn’t getting any younger = he’s 31 already. Tottenham need to keep an eye on his eventual successor, and 18-year-old Antonio Nusa could be that guy.

The Norwegian, branded as a player with ‘electric acceleration‘ by Sky Sports’ Dougie Critchley, isn’t on Son’s level yet, but he has humongous potential.

Under Ange Postecoglou, if Tottenham sign him, we’re convinced Nusa can develop into a star and potentially replace Son one day.
