According to Teamtalk, Arsenal have already made contact with the representatives of RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa ahead of a potential move during the winter transfer window.
The Gunners brought in Christos Tzolis to reinforce the left wing department last summer, but they remain short in specialist options, considering both Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli moved on.
Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke have impressed as makeshift choices, but manager Mikel Arteta may ideally want a specialist on the left wing, who can provide strong competition to Tzolis in future.
Nusa’s name has been constantly mentioned in recent months and Teamtalk cite that the Gunners have already held talks with his agents with the prospect of a possible approach to Leipzig this winter.
It is claimed that Leipzig value the highly-rated winger at around £67 million, though it is unclear whether the Bundesliga outfit would entertain his departure at the midway stage of the campaign.
Must buy
Nusa had an average 2025/26 season with Leipzig, registering only 5 goals and 3 assists in 35 appearances. However, he has started to realise his potential this term and has already made 14 goal involvements in just 15 matches.
The 21-year-old has been quite exceptional for the Bundesliga outfit and has excelled in several other attributes. Nusa has completed 2.5 dribbles per game while winning 5 duels on average. He has also excelled with his high pressing and tireless work rate.
The youngster has the credentials to suit the Premier League. Martin Odegaard shares a fond relationship with Nusa, given they play together for Norway. The Arsenal and Norwegian captain could play an instrumental part in persuading him to join Arsenal.
The big question remains whether Leipzig would welcome a mid-season exit. The German outfit need Champions League football next season to avoid hefty financial losses and this could urge them to keep hold of Nusa to qualify for the elite European competition.
Leipzig rarely part ways with their high-profile assets in January, but a big-money bid could convince them to do so. Arsenal don’t usually spend big in January either, but must splash the cash to land Nusa and avoid a possible bidding battle during the summer.
