With just four days left in the January transfer window, we have the latest scoop on all the Premier League transfer news.
Brentford has managed to secure a deal with Club Brugge to bring in winger Antonio Nusa, despite facing stiff competition from other clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. The deal is reportedly worth around £30m, and the 18-year-old will join Brentford this month but will continue to develop at Brugge until the end of the season. This move will also result in a significant profit for Brugge, who had initially signed Nusa for less than £3m from Stabaek in 2021.
Meanwhile, Spurs were the favorites to sign Nusa and have been the biggest spenders in the January window so far after acquiring Genoa defender Radu Dragusin for £25m. Newcastle United had also shown interest in Nusa as they looked to bolster their attacking options amid rumors of Miguel Almiron’s potential move to Saudi Arabia.
In other news, both Brentford and Brighton are still interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. However, Leicester is holding firm on their valuation of £40m-plus for the 25-year-old. Dewsbury-Hall has caught the eye with his performances as Leicester lead the Championship table and has been linked with a return to the Premier League. But Roberto De Zerbi has distanced himself from discussing Dewsbury-Hall, stating that it’s not his place to talk about other players, especially when it involves his friend Enzo Maresca.
Although Newcastle United has previously shown interest in Dewsbury-Hall, their current financial situation means they can’t make a permanent move for any midfielder this month unless they offload one of their players first.
