Arsenal send delegation for transfer which could reach €80m – Trying to beat Tottenham and others

Arsenal sent a delegation to watch RB Leipzig's Antonio Nusa in the Champions League; the Norwegian winger could cost €60-80m next summer.

Arsenal are stepping up their pursuit of RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa, with reports indicating the club sent a delegation to watch the 21-year-old during Leipzig's Champions League clash against Manchester City. The Norwegian has been in exceptional form this season with 13 goal contributions already, matching his entire previous campaign tally.

Mikel Arteta is understood to be a keen admirer of Nusa's tactical discipline. Leipzig value the winger at €60-80m for next summer, though the club will not entertain offers in January unless an "extraordinary" bid arrives. Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are also monitoring the player, with a potential bidding war expected.

Leipzig need to raise approximately €100m in transfer revenue next year, which could create an opening for interested clubs. Arsenal's delegation attendance at the Champions League fixture is seen as a clear signal of their intentions to pursue the deal.
