Nusa comments on Arsenal's interest in signing him, and Norway's coach advises him to stay with RB Leipzig
Antonio Nusa, the winger from RB Leipzig, has distanced himself from speculation regarding his future and the possibility of a transfer to Arsenal, amid ongoing interest from the English club in securing his services in the near future.
According to talkSPORT, citing BILD, Arsenal are continuing to monitor the 21-year-old Norwegian player after sending a delegation to scout him during the UEFA Champions League match between RB Leipzig and Manchester City, which ended in a 3-2 defeat for the German team.
Antonio Nusa has impressed with RB Leipzig this season, contributing to 11 goals in the Bundesliga, scoring four and assisting seven others, thus matching Harry Kane's tally of goal contributions in the competition.
Antonio Nusa stated in comments reported by Norwegian network TV2 that he is trying to stay away from following rumors about his future, explaining: "I try to stay a bit away from all that, there are a lot of things happening right now, and I try not to open my phone too much, because there is always something new."
He added: "I see everything, I am not blind, and I know what is being said, but I try to stay away from that. I have good people around me, and there is no pressure, I just try to enjoy my daily life in RB Leipzig, it is a great team and has a great coach in Martin Demichelis."
He continued: "In addition to that, I have an agent who handles all other matters, allowing me to focus solely on football, and that is the most important thing for me."
Ståle Solbakken, the head coach of the Norway national team, advised Antonio Nusa not to leave RB Leipzig during the upcoming winter transfer window, considering that staying until the end of the season would be the best option for his development.
Solbakken said: "I think it is good for him to play there this season, to have a good season in the Bundesliga, and to have more time to mature before taking the next big step."
He explained: "If he leaves at the end of the season instead of departing midway through, he will also have a long preparation period, and he will have time to get to know the coaches and players during a summer that will not feature the European Championship or the FIFA World Cup."
