Arsenal plan blockbuster move for Norway World Cup star

Arsenal may also face competition from Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Juventus and Barcelona for the Norwegian international.

Arsenal head into the new season looking to build on their historic Premier League triumph under Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners finally ended their 22-year wait for the title and also came within penalties of lifting the Champions League.

Andrea Berta has already started reshaping the squad following another memorable campaign in north London.

Piero Hincapié has arrived from Bayer Leverkusen, while Illan Meslier joined the club on a free transfer.

Meanwhile, Jakub Kiwior has completed a move to Porto and Leandro Trossard has left for Besiktas.

Arsenal are now working on further reinforcements as Arteta looks to defend the Premier League crown.

The club continue to hold talks over moves for Bruno Guimarães, Morgan Rogers and Christos Tzolis.

However, another attacking player has now emerged as a serious target for the champions.

According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal are now planning a move for RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa following his impressive displays in North America.

Nusa enjoyed an impressive campaign in Germany before taking that form to the World Cup with Norway.

He featured in all six matches for his country and played a major role in their run to the quarter-finals.

His performances against Ivory Coast, Brazil and England attracted attention from several major European clubs.

Arteta reportedly views the 21-year-old as an ideal long-term option on the left side of his attack.

Arsenal are also hopeful that Martin Odegaard could help convince his international teammate to move to the Emirates.

RB Leipzig are not under immediate pressure to sell because the winger remains under contract until 2029.

Earlier reports suggested the Bundesliga side could demand around £51 million for his signature.

Arsenal may also face competition from Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Juventus and Barcelona for the Norwegian international.

Despite that interest, the Premier League champions appear ready to intensify their pursuit as they continue reshaping their attack for the new season.
