Journalist Ben Jacobs has said that Chelsea might have to watch out for competition from Tottenham Hotspur in the race for Club Brugge winger Antonio Nusa.

Tottenham were linked with Antonio Nusa

After Nusa’s failed move to Brentford in January, several reports over the summer have suggested that Premier League clubs could once again come calling for the winger.

This includes an earlier update by Fichajes, who claimed that Tottenham were at the front of the queue to land the teenager as they view him as a ‘key piece for their future project’.

Last month, The Guardian claimed that Crystal Palace had made advances over a deal for Nusa, having identified him as a potential replacement for Michael Olise.

Chelsea keen on a deal for Antonio Nusa

Jacobs has now revealed that Nusa is one of the names on Enzo Maresca’s shopping list at Chelsea ahead of his first season in charge.

However, the journalist added that the Blues have to be wary of their London rivals, Spurs, as well as of Brighton, who are both continuing to keep an eye on the Norway international.

When discussing Chelsea’s transfer targets, Jacobs told The London is Blue Podcast: “Then the last name I would throw into the mix is Antonio Nusa who Chelsea have been linked with before.

“There isn’t a fear from suitors that he isn’t going to be attainable or that he won’t struggle for fitness because of the back and knee problems he has had.

“Brentford haven’t come back in, there’s a feeling that Brighton might and also Spurs, so Chelsea will have to move quickly if they want to enter that race.”

Spurs Web Opinion

We know that Tottenham are fans of Nusa, having failed with a move for the Club Brugge star in January.

However, it does seem like Spurs have turned their attention to other alternatives, possibly due to concerns over the winger’s injury issues following his failed medical at Brentford.
