Arsenal target Antonio Nusa has admitted loving setting up Martin Odegaard for a goal in Norway’s win over Georgia.
Arsenal fans were given a potential glimpse of the future after Antonio Nusa and Martin Odegaard combined for Norway.
The international break is coming to an end and the attention is quickly turning back to Premier League action.
Arsenal fans will certainly be excited to see Odegaard in action as the Gunners skipper scored for Norway against Georgia.
Odegaard drove home Norway’s second in a 2-1 win over Georgia, keeping their Euro 2024 qualification hopes alive.
Arsenal supporters will have loved another Odegaard goal, but may also have had one eye on the man who assisted him.
Arsenal target Antonio Nusa assists Martin Odegaard
90Min reported last week that Arsenal are interested in signing Club Brugge talent Antonio Nusa.
The 18-year-old was the subject of a £25.7million bid from Chelsea before the summer deadline but no deal was done.
Formerly of Stabaek, Nusa has shown phenomenal potential down the left flank and his trickery was on show against Georgia.
Nusa set up Norway’s opener with a perfect cross for an Erling Haaland header before his outstanding foot work saw Odegaard slam the ball home.
It’s easy to imagine Nusa and Odegaard teaming up at Arsenal and the teenage wonderkid seems to admire the Gunners star.
Nusa told TV2 that playing with both Haaland and Odegaard is ‘fun’ and it’s ultimately easy for him to create chances when they are in the team.
“It’s easy for me with players like Haaland and Ødegaard. Easy for me to find them. It’s just fun, and extra fun for me to assist them as well,” said Nusa.
Norwegian press hail Nusa
Nusa’s hugely exciting performance on Tuesday night has earned major praise from the Norwegian media.
TV2 hailed Nusa as a ‘fantastic football player’ having set up both goals in the 2-1 victory.
They added that Nusa was ‘outstanding’ in the first half and simply the best player on the pitch – even with Haaland and Odegaard featuring.
The excitement about Nusa is building and Arsenal may well see that link-up with Odegaard and fancy bringing him to North London.
