Arsenal are determined to build on a superb 2025/26 campaign rather than stand still.
After ending their 22-year wait for the Premier League title and reaching the Champions League final, Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen his squad again this summer in a bid to keep the silverware flowing.
One area requiring attention is the left wing, with Leandro Trossard expected to complete a move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce following the World Cup.
Arsenal have already begun drawing up a shortlist of replacements, and one exciting young attacker has emerged as a leading target.
Arsenal Planning Nusa Bid
According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal are preparing an opening offer of around £34 million (€40m) for RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa.
The Norway international, who has been described as “fantastic” by Norway teammate Erling Haaland, is highly regarded by the Gunners after an impressive World Cup campaign, with the 21-year-old viewed as a long-term option on the left flank.
However, Arsenal’s opening proposal is unlikely to be enough.
Reports in Germany suggest Leipzig value Nusa at closer to £51 million (€60m), while Newcastle United, Juventus and several other European clubs are also monitoring his situation.
Although Leipzig would ideally like to keep hold of the talented winger, their stance could soften if a substantial offer is submitted.
Nusa played a key role in Norway’s run to the World Cup quarter-finals and further enhanced his growing reputation with a series of eye-catching displays, including a stunning goal against Côte d’Ivoire.
