Though Arsenal are top of the league, the club is still pressing on with plans to improve its squad even further.

A report suggests the North London club is looking to strengthen in a key area which has proved a particular headache for the club in recent seasons.

Now one star player could solve this issue, but there are a few suitors to the sought-after talent.

Arsenal move in for talented left winger

Arsenal have long been looking to sort out its issues on the left wing.

Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard could both occupy that position with varying degrees of success, but have now left the club.

New signing Christos Tzolis started well but is now only just getting back from an injury lay-off, while Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze have both been tried out in that position, but neither convincing.

Now, a player has emerged who might be the answer to Gunners fans’ prayer.

Antonio Nusa, who plays on the left wing for RB Leipzig, has had a stellar season in the Bundesliga, and is attracting significant interest from rival clubs.

The 21-year-old has registered six goals and seven assists in what is an already-impressive campaign.

According to TeamTalk, Arsenal have had scouts present at his last three matches as they look to keep a close eye on the Norwegian’s progress.

Arsenal staff have already spoken to his representatives.

Although there is no strict release clause, it’s thought Leipzig have placed a price tag on him in the region of £66million.

If the North London team were to make a move, it would make Nusa its third-most expensive player ever after Declan Rice (£99.2m) and Bruno Guimarães (£75m).

However, the player is tied down at Leipzig until 2029, meaning some considerable haggling will need to come from Arsenal for a deal.

The London club aren’t the only club in the running, though.

Bayern Munich, amongst other clubs, are also keen on the Norwegian, as they look to improve their strength-in-depth on the wing.

Arsenal’s new target: Who is Antonio Nusa?

Born in Oslo, Antonio Nusa has had a rapid rise to footballing stardom.

Having come through the ranks at Langhus and then Stabæk in Norway, he graduated to the latter’s senior team, but after only one season and eleven appearances, was snapped up by Club Brugge in 2021.

On his Champions League debut for the club against Porto in the same season, he became the youngest ever Norwegian player to play in the competition.

He also scored in that match, at the time making him the second-youngest Champions League scorer ever at 17 years 149 days. He is still the fifth-youngest scorer ever in the Champions League.

He then moved on to RB Leipzig in 2024, netting on his Bundesliga debut against VfL Bochum.

On the international stage, Nusa was a key part of Norway’s World Cup squad, becoming a national hero after scoring a sensational goal against Brazil to help the team to the last 16.

However, the Norwegian is attempting not to let the hype affect him.

"I try to take a step back from that," he said recently. "There's a lot going on at the same time now. I try not to open my phone too often, because there's always something going on there, he says, laughing.

“I see everything, then [on his phone]! Whatever comes. I'm not blind, so I get it.

"That's why I try to take a step back. I have good people around me. There's no stress. I just try to enjoy the everyday life I have in Leipzig. It's a fantastic team with a fantastic coach (Martin Demichelis).

"Next to that I have an agent who works with all the other parts and just lets me focus on the football. That's the most important thing for me."
