The £30 million winger was wanted by Liverpool, but he is now close to signing with Tottenham.

Liverpool seem in all likelihood to lose out to Tottenham Hotspur on a achievable transfer target.

While the Reds have been silent in the January window so far, Spurs have been making plenty of noise. The North Londoners have already delivered in Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin.

And now, in accordance to Football London, they ought to be set to make a 1/3 signing of the month. And doubtlessly at Liverpool’s expense.

It’s claimed that Club Brugge youngster Antonio Nusa is the player in question. With Spurs reportedly in talks with Brugge over the 18-year-old, Ange Postecoglou’s side are now said to be ‘at the the front of the queue’ for Nusa.

That’s in spite of attention from Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea who are all claimed to have been ‘showing interest’ in the Norwegian.

Highly-rated as he is though, Nusa apparently won’t come cheap. Brugge will reportedly be hoping for round £30m for the teenager. It’s additionally claimed that Spurs have held talks with the Belgian club over loaning Nusa lower back for the relaxation of the season.

Tottenham pass in advance on Nusa

Nusa has certainly been linked with Liverpool prior to Spurs taking the lead on him.

Back in September, the Reds have been claimed to be actively scouting the Norway international, simply days after he rejected a cut-off date day cross to Chelsea.

If they’ve been watching him this season, then there’s little cause Liverpool’s scouts wouldn’t have been impressed.

Although he’s solely commenced six league fits for Brugge, Nusa has notched two dreams and two assists. That isn’t terrible for underneath seven hundred minutes of football.

He bagged any other goal in the Europa Conference League and appears set to light up the worldwide stage with Norway, too.

With gamers like this, there can often be a danger of them moving too far too soon. It’s honest to say that Nusa isn’t even a ordinary in Belgium simply yet.

But Spurs have done properly with these kinds of things recently. Football London spotlight the transfers of Destiny Udogie and Pape Mate Sarr as examples. Both were signed very young and then loaned back to the teams they had been sold from.

Since coming into the Tottenham first-team this season, each players have completed remarkably well. A similar system for Nusa would seem to be like accurate practice. Of course, that’s some thing Liverpool may want to do too, but right now it appears like they’re staying out of things. Advantage Spurs.
