Arsenal Preparing January Move for Antonio Nusa

The club views the RB Leipzig winger as left‑wing cover after summer departures and an injury, with any deal depending on Leipzig’s price and willingness to sell.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Tuesday that Arsenal are preparing a fresh approach for Antonio Nusa as a leading target for the January window, with coverage tracing back to Caught Offside.
  • Leipzig coach Ole Werner has publicly praised Nusa’s potential and recent reports say the 21‑year‑old has produced five goal contributions in six matches this season, raising Arsenal’s interest.
  • Arsenal’s urgency stems from squad changes this summer — the exits of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli — compounded by a hamstring injury to summer signing Christos Tzolis that has reduced left‑side options.
  • A move faces clear hurdles because RB Leipzig are reportedly reluctant to sell midseason and published valuations vary, with one report citing about £51m and other outlets suggesting Arsenal might open lower.
  • The club is keeping alternatives under review, scouting several other attacking targets, and any January action will weigh short‑term cover needs against transfer cost and Leipzig’s readiness to negotiate.
