Tottenham Hotspur have recently intensified its pursuit of Club Brugge wonder kid Antonio Nusa as the January transfer window approaches its conclusion.
Discussions are going well, according to a previous TeamTalk post, and the club wants to finish everything by the end of the day.
According to reports, the young Norwegian star has orally agreed to personal terms with Tottenham, with a deal estimated to be worth approximately £26 million.
With Spurs acquiring Nusa on a five-year contract with an option for a further year, transfer specialist João Miguel has now given a new update, saying that the transaction is “done” for the summer.
In order to fulfil his ambition of finishing the season with the Belgian team before joining Tottenham, the player will get his wish.
Spurs have moved quickly to sign the gifted young player, even in the face of interest from other elite clubs.
Three goals and two assists in six starts are Nusa’s accomplishments in 15 appearances in the Belgian Pro League.
Being the leading scorer in goals created and third in shots created per ninety minutes in Belgium’s top division, the teenager constantly threatens the opponent. [Ebref]
In 2021, when Antonio Nusa was a player for Stabaek in Norway, Spurs had the option to sign him for a mere €3 million, but they chose not to take advantage of the opportunity.
The present agreement is more expensive than the one that was lost in 2021, but the club appears committed to learning from its error.

Tottenham are now open to selling Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this transfer window, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Under Ange Postecoglou, the Danish midfielder has struggled to make an impact and has been passed over in favour of players like Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma.
There have been rumours that the Australian believes the player’s style of play is not appropriate for the type of football he wants his men to play.
Despite not being his first choice, he has nevertheless made 20 appearances for Spurs, the most coming off the bench. However, he has always been reliable when called upon.
The athlete is willing to relocate and has reportedly recruited an agent or attorney to help hasten his departure in order to get more consistent playing time.
Spurs would also like to see him go, but according to Romano, they are only interested in a long-term agreement or a loan with a buyout clause. They don’t want to provide him a direct loan arrangement.
In an interview with GiveMeSport, he provided the subsequent update:
“For Tottenham, the strategy has never changed. Hojberg’s situation is peculiar since Tottenham has consistently stated that they are willing to let him go because they understand that the player wants to test a different opportunity, both during the summer transfer window and the winter market. This is how things actually are.
Hojbjerg is hoping for a new team and a chance to play a major role somewhere else. Tottenham is seeking a long-term deal and significant compensation for Hojbjerg. For a prominent player like Hojbjerg, they don’t want to take a simple loan, thus it might be a loan with a purchase commitment or a long-term agreement.
The most recent team to express interest in signing him is Newcastle, albeit only on a loan basis. Due to Spurs’ asking price, a number of teams, including Juventus and Napoli, have expressed interest in signing the midfield player but have not been able to reach a deal.
It remains to be seen as there are only a few days remaining until the window closes.
