Mikel Arteta reportedly wants to find a reliable backup for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. David Ornstein of The Athletic referred to this while forecasting Arsenal’s huge summer transfer window.
The Arsenal manager can’t go wrong by signing Club Brugge winger Antonio Nusa. The Norwegian wonderkid can play anywhere in the attack and might be the ideal backup for Saka and Martinelli.
According to Fichajes, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspurs, Chelsea, and Manchester City might all compete for the Club Brugge winger.
But Arsenal should be encouraged to complete this deal because Martin Odegaard has already ‘approved’ a move for the 18-year-old. Back in September, the Arsenal captain told Voetbal Primeur. “He is an incredibly exciting player. You see it—every time he gets the ball, it’s exciting. He is still young and will get even better. He must continue as he has done. Work hard, be humble,” Odegaard revealed.
Aside from Odegaard’s admission, Arsenal fans can take note of Mikel Arteta’s ability to bring out the best in raw talent, as he has with Saka and Martinelli, and polish Nusa into the star he can be.
In nine starts for Club Brugge this season, the Norwegian teenager has three goals and three assists, which is fantastic. Let’s hope that with Odegaard in the Emirates Stadium, Nusa will reject all transfer approaches to join his compatriot at Arsenal.

No where near good enough for Arsenal. His passing in opponents half is poor by Arsenal’s standard, his conversion rate of 9% is very poor, even defenders have better conversion rates than that. I think Odeguaard was just biggin him up to give him encouragement, not as a potential Arsenal player. Also he plays down the left and if he does score, it’s always with his right foot when he cuts in from the left, hardly a backup for the right sided Saka, plus he is worst than what’s on our sub bench.
But he’s still only 18 years old and can be heavily improved under Arteta’s guidance….
The gaffer obsession with another top class Winger is well documented, to the poit of Mbbappe name been flirt with.
But I can understand where the gaffer is going, surely Nico Williams, Raphinna or the mystery winger from the Molinenoux that seems to be link with us forever, one got to be on top of the cards
Assuming the rumours concerning the sale of Nelson and Nketiah are true, Williams would certainly top my recruitment list as he can play anywhere in the front three.That said, he is most effective as a conventional right winger but ,unfortunately our Manager seems committed to inverted wingers so Martinelli is likely to be most “at risk” if he joins Arsenal.
