Tottenham have joined the race for RB Leipzig winger, with Newcastle currently leading the chase.
Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign highly rated RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa as they continue to survey the market for elite attacking options. The North London club is determined to inject further pace and trickery out wide, placing the Norwegian international high on their summer wishlist.
According to a transfer update shared by Spurs Insight on X, citing Fussballdaten, Tottenham are considered among the serious contenders to secure Nusa’s signature this summer. Landing the winger, who is often compared to his own teammate Erling Haaland, will require navigating a highly competitive landscape, with fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace also firmly in the hunt.
While Tottenham and Crystal Palace are preparing their respective plays, Newcastle United are currently believed to be leading the race for the talented forward. The Magpies have done extensive groundwork on Nusa, positioning themselves as the frontrunners in a battle that could see a familiar transfer narrative unfold following Sandro Tonali’s recent switch between the two clubs.
RB Leipzig are well aware of the surging English interest and have already established a firm financial boundary for any potential sale. The Bundesliga club is willing to sanction the winger’s exit, but only if an offer touching around €50 million is presented during this window.
With Antonio Nusa, Attacking Shortlist Continues to Expand for Tottenham
The move for Nusa underlines Tottenham’s relentless focus on rebuilding their frontline into a dynamic, fluid unit under head coach Roberto De Zerbi. Having hit roadblocks in domestic pursuits like Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi, the recruitment team has continuously pivoted to premium continental targets. Nusa joins a high-profile shortlist that features AC Milan’s Rafael Leão and Paris Saint-Germain’s Randal Kolo Muani.
Tottenham’s vast spending power this summer, having already committed £230 million across just three marquee arrivals, means meeting Leipzig’s €50 million price tag is well within their economic capabilities. With the player’s profile matching De Zerbi’s demand for high-intensity, vertical wingers, the club’s hierarchy will have to act swiftly if they are to leapfrog Newcastle and bring the Norwegian starlet to the capital.
