Report: Tottenham receive potential boost in the race for Antonio Nusa this summer

Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri has revealed that Brentford have now withdrawn their interest from Tottenham target Antonio Nusa.

Nusa allegedly rejected Tottenham’s advances during January to opt for a move to Brentford instead after the West London side guaranteed him regular game time (Football.London) but in the final days of the window, the winger failed a medical at the Gtech Community Stadium (Ben Jacobs).

Since the closure of the transfer window, it has been widely reported by various sources that both Brentford and Spurs have not yet abandoned their pursuit of the 18-year-old.

This was the information carried by Football Insider a couple of weeks ago, with the outlet asserting that the Bees are continuing to work on a deal for the player, who has allegedly made up his mind to leave Club Brugge to move to the Premier League at the end of the season.

It was subsequently suggested by Het Nieuwsblad that Newcastle United are also willing to challenge the two London clubs for the Norway international.

Brentford bow out of the race for Antonio Nusa

It has now emerged that Spurs might have one less competitor to worry about for Nusa’s signature, with Tavolieri taking to social media to state that the Bees are now out of the race.

The journalist added that while some English teams are still looking at the Club Brugge star ahead of the summer, joining Thomas Frank’s side is no longer an option for the player any longer.

Spurs Web Opinion

Based on the events of the January window, we know for sure that Tottenham do hold an interest in Nusa. However, the fact that he turned down the Lilywhites’ approach might count against the winger as we know that Ange only wants to sign players who are extremely keen on joining the club.
