Norway winger Antonio Nusa will be a key threat when his side faces England in the World Cup quarter-finals on Saturday evening. The 21-year-old attacker aims to exploit England's right-back position, weakened by Jarell Quansah's red card.
Failed Premier League Medical
Nusa was close to joining Brentford in January 2024 after a £31.5 million fee was agreed with Club Brugge. However, the transfer collapsed when his medical revealed significant knee and back problems, leading Brentford to withdraw.
'Difficult' Injury Hell
The failed medical and health concerns caused a deeply "difficult" period for Nusa. He admitted fearing something was fundamentally wrong with his body before specialists eventually gave him the all-clear.
Rebuilding at RB Leipzig
After recovering, Nusa continued in the Belgian Pro League before earning a lucrative transfer to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in summer 2024. His performances have reignited Premier League interest.
Manchester United and Other Suitors
Manchester United are keen admirers, with Nusa recently calling a summer transfer "very high". Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are also reportedly tracking him. The World Cup provides a perfect showcase for his talent.
