Since the arrival of Todd Boehly, Chelsea have decided to go crazy on the transfer market. The management of the Blues spends lavishly and has also exceeded the billion euros spent in three windows of the transfer window. However, this does not prevent the squad from having certain shortages, particularly due to certain injuries. Above all, Chelsea have decided to target players with high potential and therefore do not hesitate to prospect everywhere to snatch the future nugget of modern football.
In this sense, during the final day, Mauricio Pochettino’s team tried to acquire the new nugget of Norwegian football Antonio Nusa by making an offer of 30 million euros according to Sky Sports. The young winger, just 18 years old, plays for Club Brugges. Last season, at the age of 17, he made a series of starts with his club and finished the season with 34 matches, 2 goals and 2 assists. This season, he is starting very strong since after a good start to the season in Belgian D1, he had his first selection with Norway which he punctuated with a first goal.
The player does not want to skip steps
After his first XXL selection, Antonio Nusa confirmed on Norwegian television TV2 that he had indeed refused Chelsea on the last day of the transfer window. “I had received so many messages. But I already knew that I was going to stay in Bruges. I had already clearly stated this at the beginning of the summer. First become a regular member of the Club, then think about the next step in my career. Although I have to admit that I spoke with the Club for a while after that offer from Chelsea. Even then, we were on the same page. No problem. I knew what I had to do: stay. 30 million euros is of course a lot of money. But I don’t think about it. It would only distract me.”he confided.
A clear message which should not deter Chelsea either. According to information from Sky Sports and confirmed by the Belgian press including HLN, the Blues should return to action next January. London management continues to closely monitor its performance and seems determined to offer it, even if it means making a more substantial offer. But there will be competition, because the English press reports that more than 20 clubs are currently following his performances, including… Arsenal, who would like to overtake their rival in this race for the Norwegian nugget.
