Nusa to Arsenal: links persist, but January move looks unlikely
The situation
Arsenal's interest in Antonio Nusa has not cooled, but the latest reporting actually points the other way from a January deal. FootballTransfers said on 9 November that Arsenal are pursuing the RB Leipzig winger for next year, with Martin Odegaard said to be working on his Norway team mate, while a report carried by FootballTransfers a day earlier claimed Arsenal had been told a January move remains highly unlikely despite their pushing. Aston Villa and Newcastle United are also linked, though nothing in the reporting ranks one above another. No window is even open for Premier League clubs today; the next one runs from 1 January to 1 February 2027.
The reporting
Every outlet carrying this is a tabloid or an aggregator, and no trusted reporter has backed it. Sky Sports News was carrying it by 3 October, repeating a report rather than breaking one, and the chain since then runs through TEAMtalk, Transfer News Live, Sport Witness and football.london, each largely echoing the last. Figures swing wildly, from around €50m talk to an €80m number floated by Sport Witness on 7 November, which itself points to how unsettled the reporting is.
The outlook
With Leipzig reportedly reluctant to sell in January and viewing him as close to untouchable, this reads as a longer-running pursuit rather than a deal close to happening. Nusa has 30 months left on his contract once January opens, so Leipzig have no pressure to deal cheaply.
What happens next
A concrete bid lodged with Leipzig, or Arsenal matching whatever fee Leipzig actually demand, would be the real trigger. Until then this stays an interested party circling a player valued at €74m.
