In previous championships, we have seen individual players use the showcase to give their careers a mega boost. For Norwegian national team players, the 2026 World Cup is the very first opportunity for this. Antonio Nusa has already signed up for the wish list of several big clubs.
The smoke has settled in Dallas after Antonio Nusa’s candidate for the World Cup’s best goal goal, but it has increased the activity on the ball island. Liverpool have already expressed their interest in our super winger, from Newcastle there are similar reports.
Cronicle Live follows everything that happens and does not happen with Newcastle United, the English media is convinced that work is now being done to bring Antonio Nusa to the Premier League club.
Here is the coverage after Antonio Nusa’s fantastic goal against Ivory Coast:
“Eddie Howe had sat down on the sofa to watch the World Cup action on Tuesday. The Newcastle United manager could well have called Ross Wilson’s number (sporting director) with a glowing recommendation. It was around that time that Norway faced the Ivory Coast in the round of eight, about 7400 kilometers away in Arlington, Texas.”
“Antonio Nusa lit up a gloomy first half with a fantastic goal in the 39th minute, and for once it wasn’t just Erling Haaland who stole the headlines for the Scandinavian nation. Nusa cut inwards from the left and placed her curling shot into the far corner with confidence, sparking wild celebrations in the stands. Few would have been surprised if Howe had asked his sporting director to increase interest at that moment.”
“Nusa’s goal was the end of an impressive overall performance as Norway advanced to the next round, and it is not the first time he has caught the attention. The Langhus-born striker was one of the most prominent players in the 4-1 win over Iraq in the group stage, and he has gradually pushed his way into Ståle Solbakken’s starting eleven.”
“The Chronicle understands that Newcastle have sent scouts to follow the 21-year-old this season and his club, RB Leipzig, are now willing to accept a reduced offer of £43.1 million for the winger.”
“It is clear that Nusa is showing the profile of a player who is loved by Howe. Not only does he attack with dynamism and direction – he uses his speed to glide past defenders – he uses his stamina to track back on the left when necessary. It’s a much-admired quality in Howe’s eyes, and what ultimately made Gordon a key player on Tyneside.”
“I love one-on-one situations. That’s what I like most about football – dribbling, having the freedom to create something on the pitch,” Nusa previously said. “I try to help them settle in off the pitch. But the most important thing is: always be yourself. Work hard, but never lose your joy.”
“Although he scored on his debut for RB Leipzig after signing from Club Brugge, he has taken some time to adjust to life in Germany, scoring just seven goals in 56 Bundesliga games. He made 31 league appearances in 2025/26, highlighting his increasingly important role in the team.”
Newcastle are in the race to sign Antonio Nusa. We love it!
