Former Scotland right-back Alan Hutton has advised Tottenham to pursue a deadline-busting January transfer for Club Brugge’s Antonio Nusa, following complications in his move to Brentford. Hutton believes acquiring Nusa would be a “no-brainer” for Tottenham, despite uncertainties arising from his failed medical examination.
Initially poised to join Brentford in a £25 million deal, Nusa’s transfer hit a snag during his medical assessment, allowing other clubs, including Tottenham, to enter the fray for his signature. Tottenham News reports Spurs’ continued interest in securing Nusa’s services before the transfer deadline, with reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano indicating their ongoing efforts to finalize a late deal.
While acknowledging the need for caution regarding Nusa’s medical issues, Hutton emphasizes the potential value in acquiring such a promising young talent. He highlights Nusa’s impressive performances for Club Brugge, where he has scored three goals and provided two assists in 16 appearances this season, as well as his contributions to the Norway national team.
Despite the setback in Nusa’s proposed move to Brentford, Hutton believes Tottenham should seize the opportunity to secure the 18-year-old’s talents, emphasizing the importance of assessing the medical findings before proceeding.
Whether Tottenham will proceed with the transfer remains uncertain, but Hutton asserts that acquiring Nusa would be a prudent move for manager Ange Postecoglou’s side, emphasizing the player’s potential and the value he could bring to the team.
In related news, Hutton also speculates on the potential departure of a Spurs star to Everton during the upcoming summer transfer window, adding to the ongoing speculation surrounding Tottenham’s squad movements.
