Antonio Nusa: Brentford move at risk over medical issues

The 18-year-old's medical has unearthed some concerns
Nizaar Kinsella30 January 2024

Brentford’s move for Club Brugge winger Antonio Nusa has been thrown into doubt.

The Bees agreed a £31.5million deal to sign the 18-year-old Norway international but his medical threw up some issues.

Brentford have sought to seek more medical information from Club Brugge and the Norwegian Football Federation.

Nusa had agreed a move to Brentford after they hijacked Tottenham’s move for him, but it now remains to be seen if the winger moves before Thursday’s transfer deadline.

Brentford initially pipped Tottenham to Nusa’s signature, with Chelsea having had a £23m bid rejected for the talented forward on deadline day in September.

Nusa chose Brentford as they offered a fast-tracked first-team pathway and a loan back to Brugge until the end of the season.

The three London clubs were joined by around 20 across Europe tracking Nusa, as he is regarded as one of the world's top young talents in his position.

Nusa made his Norway debut in September and has scored four goals and registered three assists in 28 matches in all competitions this season.
