Chelsea are eyeing Antonio Nusa after Club Brugge’s £23m bid was rejected
Helsea are eyeing winger Antonio Nusa after a £23million offer for the player from Club Brugge was rejected on deadline day.
The Blues wanted to get a head start on their transfer rivals by attempting to sign Norway’s next potential superstar late in the summer.
Nusa, 18, would only have been included in Mauricio Pochettino’s first team if Ian Maatsen or Conor Gallagher had been sold. The option of sending the player back to Bruges on loan immediately was also discussed between the two clubs.
Chelsea will face increased competition for Nusa in future transfer windows after the teenager made a name for himself by becoming the second-youngest goalscorer in Champions League history after scoring in a 4-0 away win over FC Porto in last September had scored in the group stage.
