Arsenal Have ‘Asked’ Club About Signing Winger But £12.5M Gap In Valuation Could Scupper January Move

Arsenal have reportedly enquired about the fee needed to sign RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa ahead of the January transfer window. According to Italian outlet TMW, Leipzig have established an asking price of €70m (£58.5m) for the permanent transfer, while Arsenal are currently prepared to offer around €55m (£46m), leaving a £12.5m gap in valuation between the two clubs.

Manager Mikel Arteta reportedly views strengthening the left wing as a priority, prompting early enquiries by sporting director Andrea Berta. The 21-year-old Norwegian international has tallied four goals and six assists in 12 matches for Leipzig this season. Brentford's Kevin Schade and Bournemouth's Junior Kroupi are also listed as alternative targets for the Gunners.
