Antonio Nusa responds to Arsenal transfer links after impressive RB Leipzig form

RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa has addressed speculation linking him with Arsenal, insisting he is happy in Germany and focused on his football.

The 21-year-old Norway international has attracted attention following an impressive start to the Bundesliga season, contributing four goals and seven assists in nine appearances.

Arsenal are reportedly among several Premier League clubs monitoring his progress, with BILD linked to claims that scouts watched him against Manchester City.

However, Nusa has indicated that he is not allowing transfer rumours to distract him.

Speaking to Norwegian broadcaster TV 2, Nusa acknowledged that he is aware of the growing interest in his future.

"I'm trying to take a step back. There's a lot happening at the moment," he said.

"I'm trying not to look at my phone too often because there's always something going on."

The winger admitted that avoiding speculation completely is difficult.

"I see everything that comes in. I'm not blind, so I notice it all."

Nevertheless, he stressed that he remains comfortable at Leipzig.

"I have good people around me. There's no stress," Nusa explained.

"I'm just trying to enjoy everyday life in Leipzig. It's a fantastic team with a fantastic coach."

He added that his agent handles matters away from football, allowing him to concentrate on his performances.

His comments suggest that a transfer is not an immediate priority, although he has not explicitly ruled out a future move.

Nusa's form has strengthened his reputation since joining Leipzig from Club Brugge in summer 2024.

Alongside his Bundesliga contributions, he scored during Leipzig's Champions League defeat to Manchester City on 4 November.

Arsenal have reportedly watched his development, while Liverpool, Tottenham and other Premier League clubs have also been linked.

According to reports attributed to BILD, Leipzig could seek approximately €80million for the winger.

That figure remains a reported valuation rather than a confirmed asking price.

Nusa's contract runs until June 2029, leaving Leipzig in a strong negotiating position.

Norway manager Ståle Solbakken has also reportedly advised the attacker to complete the season in Germany before considering his next step.

For now, there is no confirmation that Arsenal have submitted an offer or opened negotiations.
