It is understood that the Blues have maintained interest in the teenage winger, but it’s London neighbours Spurs that have now jumped ahead in the race to sign him. Apparently, it would be ‘hard work’ for Chelsea to now overtake their close rivals in this transfer pursuit.
The report says that Spurs are currently talking with Brugge about a deal this month. They want a £25m fee and to keep him on loan for the rest of the 2023/24 season.
In our view, Chelsea should forget interest in the Brugge youngster and focus their attention elsewhere.
The Blues have been stockpiling some of the best upcoming stars in the last year, but the main issue staring them in the race right now is the centre-forward position.
We’d much prefer to hear talk of Mauricio Pochettino’s side focusing their efforts on bringing a proven frontman to Stamford Bridge.
Nusa, who’s got talent and potential, is very much one for the future. But Chelsea really need a solution for their starting XI right now.
