Johan Lange reached out to national manager to try and push through Spurs deal
Then, to the dismay of Spurs supporters, Brentford appeared to sabotage the agreement. According to multiple sources, Nusa decided to sign with the Bees after being promised regular playing time by the team (Football.London).
But there was one additional twist in the final days of the transfer window: the teenager’s knee and back issues prevented him from passing a physical at the Gtech Community Stadium, which contributed to the transfer falling through (Ben Jacobs).
Tottenham’s tactics revealed in Antonio Nusa deal
Although it is unclear if Tottenham will rekindle their interest in Nusa next summer, TV2 has now provided insight into the tactics the team used in January to persuade the young player to join the team.According to reports, Stale Solbakken, the player’s international manager, was contacted by Tottenham’s technical director Johan Lange in an attempt to convince the youngster to sign with the North London team.
It’s revealed that Lange and Solbakken “worked for many years” together at FC Copenhagen, where the Tottenham player was formerly the director, and that they had a very excellent relationship.

It would have been intriguing to observe the outcome if Brentford hadn’t manipulated the Nusa agreement. It stands to reason that Spurs would have discovered the same problem during the examination, and that might have been sufficient reason to cancel the deal.

‘He doesn’t get any publicity’ – Cristian Romero says one Tottenham star is very underrated
These outcomes have given the team a sobering reality check and demonstrated the amount of work still to do before they can compete on an equal footing with teams like Manchester City and Liverpool.
Romero insisted that the team is on the correct path to someday contend for big honors, but he conceded that some patience is required.
“We need time and patience to win stuff, or at least to compete with teams like Manchester City and Liverpool who are out on their own in the Premier League,” the World Cup champion said to The Sun.
They are the ones to beat, but we’ll push them hard one day if our club and chairman continue to build the foundation. We just need to keep moving forward; even though we’re not yet prepared to win this season.
Romero loves playing with Micky Van de Ven
Romero and Micky van de Ven have developed a strong defensive duo, and the Argentinean star said that his center-back partner does not receive the respect he merits, maintaining that the Dutchman is among the top players in the Premier League at his position.
Regarding the former Wolfsburg player, the 25-year-old stated: “At this point, Micky is among the Premier League’s best central defenders.” However, marketing is a major factor in how others perceive you here, which is why there isn’t enough discussion on him.
“He doesn’t get any publicity and is not built up at all. But he’s doing so well and we hope that he can continue — I am so happy for him. He’s young, hungry and wants to get to the next level. He has a great career ahead.”
While most of us realized at the time that this would be a transitional season, it is crucial for supporters to remember where the team was six months ago. Since the current Spurs squad is among the youngest in the league, they will undoubtedly make mistakes in the process.
