Tottenham receive sobering update on Antonio Nusa after failed summer pursuit

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly fallen behind in the race to sign RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa ahead of the January transfer window. According to Football Insider, Premier League rivals Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United have overtaken Spurs as leading contenders to sign the 21-year-old Norway international, with Leipzig expected to demand a permanent transfer fee of at least £60 million.

Bharad Thirumalai suggests Tottenham are unlikely to prioritize Nusa in January, as manager Roberto De Zerbi's side may instead focus on signing a striker to replace Richarlison. Additionally, Spurs anticipate returning options out wide, including Dejan Kulusevski and Xavi Simons, potentially delaying any major winger pursuit until next summer.
