Newcastle United Shows Interest in Norwegian Wonderkid Antonio Nusa
Newcastle United is reportedly closely monitoring the progress of Antonio Nusa, the young sensation from Club Brugge, who is drawing comparisons with his Norwegian compatriots Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard.
The 18-year-old prodigy has been dubbed the ‘next Erling Haaland’ by some and even likened to Neymar by others. Antonio Nusa recently made his international debut for Norway, where he left defenders in disbelief by opening the scoring in a resounding 6-0 victory over Jordan.

Former Norway coach Per-Mathias Hogmo, who was clearly impressed, couldn’t help but recall Martin Odegaard when he first saw Nusa play. He remarked on Nusa’s remarkable balance, his ability to handle the ball in tight situations, and his efficiency on the field. Hogmo believes Nusa is a special talent, making an incredible comparison to the likes of Odegaard and Haaland, who have risen to prominence in both the Premier League and world football.
Reports from 90Min suggest that Newcastle United, along with Arsenal and Liverpool, are monitoring the progress of this promising Club Brugge wonderkid. Nusa might soon get the chance to prove himself among such highly-regarded company.
Newcastle United, under the management of Eddie Howe and Dan Ashworth, has been investing significantly in young talents like Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento, shaping the club’s future around youth development. Antonio Nusa, at just 18, could potentially find a comfortable home at St James’ Park.
However, it’s worth noting that Nusa’s former coach, Dag Inge Kjolstad, cautions against rushing the young talent into the spotlight too soon. While Nusa has displayed maturity beyond his years, Kjolstad reveals that he turned down a £23 million move to Chelsea over the summer.
Nusa’s decision reflects a thoughtful approach to his career, choosing clubs that genuinely believe in his potential rather than jumping to a big club too quickly. Kjolstad places great faith in Nusa’s abilities and character, emphasizing the young player’s wise choices in his career progression.
