Everton transfer news as Club Brugge forward Antonio Nusa wanted, talks ongoing
Everton are in interested in Club Brugge forward Antonio Nusa and have already made contact for his signature, according to Dutch outlet Voetbalkrant.
According to the report (29 July), the 18-year-old, who has drawn favourable comparisons to Neymar by former Stabaek team-mate Mats Solheim in Norway, has ended up on the Toffees’ radar as they continue to try and bolster Sean Dyche’s forward options at Goodison Park.
The report goes on to state that there are major question marks over whether Nusa will be available to Brugge and manager Ronny Deila for much longer.
Sources in England believe that Everton are “eagerly looking” at the Norwegian sensation and have made contact to sign him.
Exciting move
While Everton will be desperately on the market for some attacking quality even after the signing of Arnaut Danjuma, entering the pool for young attacking talents will be a welcome sight for the Toffees faithful.
It’s been a long time since the Everton fans have had something to shout about regarding a hot new prospect getting bums off seats at Goodison Park, and with the new and improved era the club is trying to enter right now, Nusa represents a perfect and exciting opportunity to explore.
Nusa, last year, became the youngest-ever player to score on his Champions League debut [Daily Mail, 26 October], racing in behind the FC Porto defence before finishing with a composure which belied his age.
Possessing great speed, balance and technique, it is easy to see why Nusa has drawn comparisons to Neymar in his early years and has long been earmarked for bigger things in future, following his breakthrough campaign for Brugge last season, where he made 34 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals and registering two assists.
It’s also believed in his native country, that he is currently their best young product to emerge after the likes of Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland, handing Everton all the incentives they need to snap up his incredibly young but gifted services.
