Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly still “interested” in signing Club Brugge star Antonio Nusa, according to the transfer well-informed person Dean Jones.
The Norwegian has burst onto the scene after showing promising performances with the Belgian team in recent times. The Lilywhites apparently expressed interest in signing him in January, impressed by his eye-catching displays.
The north London club reportedly entered into talks with Brugge over a deal to secure his signature, but they ultimately opted not to go ahead.
Brentford increased their interest and agreed a deal in principle worth around £25m with the Belgian side to sign the striker. However, the Bees ultimately decided to cancel this deal after an issue arose during the medical. It has been reported that there was concern about his knee. But the claim Has been fired later.
After deciding not to sign Nusa this winter, Brentford have reportedly decided to cool their interest in signing him. Now, writing in GiveMeSport, jones has reported that although Tottenham did not opt to sign Nusa in January, they remain “interested” in securing his signature and could make a concrete proposal during the offseason.
Nusa to Tottenham
The journalist further states that Spurs are cautious about Nusa's medical problem and would make any possible deal after understanding that the forward does not have any problem.
jones He also says Brugge do not want to lower their valuation from January onwards, so Spurs will have to spend a fee of around £25m to acquire the youngster's service this summer.
Spurs have been looking to sign young talent from around the world and give them the platform to flourish their career at the newly renovated White Hart Lane.
They have recently signed Alejo Veliz, Lucas Bergvall and Luka Vuskovic and Nusa is now emerging as a serious option. The Norwegian is a talented player and possesses great potential, so he could be a shrewd signing if Tottenham buy him.
However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club ultimately opt to secure Nusa's signature in the upcoming transfer window.
Meanwhile, after enduring a disappointing campaign last season, Spurs have enjoyed a promising season under Ange Postecoglou this season, placing fifth in the table with 50 points from 26 games.
Fifth position could be enough to qualify for the Champions League but Spurs would hope to book their place in Europe's elite club competition next season if they finish in the top four.
