Antonio Nusa will leave Club Brugge in the summer after deals with Brentford and Tottenham fell through at the end of last month, sources have told Football Insider.
Thomas Frank’s side had agreed a deal for the winger for an initial £25m, but the move was called off after problems reportedly arose with his medical.
Tottenham also showed interest in signing the 18-year-old sensation and came close to a deal, but the deal collapsed late on.
However, well-informed sources have told Football Insider that he is expected to move to the Premier League in the summer, ending his three-year stay at Club Brugge.
Tottenham were planning to sign Nussa and send him back to the Belgian club on loan for the rest of the season.
The 18-year-old scored four goals and three assists in 28 appearances.
Since joining Club Brugge from Norwegian side Stabaek in the summer of 2021, he has made a total of 64 appearances for the club.
While Tottenham missed out on an attacking sensation, they signed defender Radu Dragusin permanently from Genoa and loaned Tim Werner from RB Leipzig until the end of the season.
TOTTENHAM COMPLETED DEAL:
Spurs announced on Friday that they had also agreed a deal to sign Swedish sensation Lucas Bergvall after beating Barcelona to his signature.
Brentford has agreed a loan deal with Spurs for Sergio Reguilon until the end of the season.
They also signed Icelandic goalkeeper Håkon Valdimarsson and 18-year-old midfielder Yunus Emre Konak on permanent contracts.

Spurs take on Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon (3 February), while Frank’s men take on Man City on Monday night (5 February).
