Kevin Hatchard has backed Antonio Nusa to join Tottenham Hotspur under the system introduced by Ange Postecoglou.
Sources have told HITC Football that Spurs have opened talks with Club Brugge about signing their highly-rated talent.
The 18-year-old is regarded as one of the top prospects in Europe after shining in the Belgian professional league and on the international stage with Norway.
European football expert Kevin Hatchard explained on Sky Sports’ Transfer Talk programme that Antonio Nusa is “very entertaining” and “really interesting to watch”.
That is exactly how Tottenham’s style of play under Ange Postecoglou can be described, as they are one of the freest teams in the division.
This is a complete change from what the fans have been used to so far, as they see a lot of attacking players thriving.
But could Hotspur Way add another top talent to their ranks? If so, Kevin Hatchard is very excited about them.
Antonio Nusa at Tottenham:
“He’s very entertaining, he’s very, very exciting to watch,” said Hatchard. “He’s done something exciting for Club Brugge.
“But he’s attracted attention mainly in Norway. Think about what an attacking talent they have. Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard.
“There’s this guy who pops up, on the left or the right, and leaves the defenders happy dancing. What’s really interesting about him is that he can go inside and outside. He is just as comfortable crossing and shooting on the left side as he is on the right. It is a nightmare for defenders.
“In the games he has had a visible effect. In the big games for Norway – he is seen as someone who is a rising star. If he went to Tottenham, to an attack-minded coach like Postecoglou, it could be a very good match.”
Tottenham’s attacking line-up
Postecoglou has shown something incredible in the opening six months. His style of play is clear, points are being scored and individual players are improving.
But what will be even more exciting for Spurs fans is the fact that he is nowhere near his best.
You feel that in about 18 months, after a couple of transfer windows, Postecoglou will be able to say that his team has really started to motor, because at the moment there are still changes being made in the squad.
But when he has a squad full of his own players, which could include Nusha, Tottenham fans will be able to really see what their team is worth.
