Tottenham Hotspur have now opened negotiations over a young forward ahead of the summer transfer window.

But Ange Postecoglou’s side are also believed to be eyeing one of his teammates as well in what could end up being a double deal.

The Lilywhites have brought in a number of new faces since the Australian’s appointment and this summer could see even more arrive at Hotspur Way.

Tottenham open negotiations for Antonio Nusa

According to Voetbalkrant, Spurs have now opened talks with Club Brugge as they look to finally get their man.

Nusa looked set to join Brentford in the January window, but the deal fell through. The report says Spurs are not looking to be beaten to Antonio Nusa this time around.

It is claimed Brugge’s asking price of €37m (£31m) is too high for Spurs, but Daniel Levy could look to bring in two players from them with Andreas Skov Olsen also of interest.

The Belgian outlet does suggest an offer of €50m (£42m) for the the two players could be seen as a realistic offer that could be accepted.

What’s been said about Antonio Nusa’s injury scare

The Lilywhites did hold January interest in Nusa, but the player accepted an offer from Brentford with more regular opportunities on the table.

However, that deal for the “very exciting” winger fell through following his medical in west London.

It is claimed Nusa had a medical issue which spooked the Bees and forced them to withdraw from the deal to sign the 18-year-old.

But it is believed that the issue has now been cleared up with the Norwegian national side’s doctor and there are no concerns ahead of the summer window.

Norwegian journalist said: “From what we know Nusa is fully fit and there is no issue as of now. He is also back in Brugge and starting games on a regular basis and performing well.”

What will be interesting is whether Spurs also make a move for Skov Olsen. He is another player who is impressing in Belgium, but could offer an instant option for Postecoglou.

The Danish winger is now 24-years-old and has provided 22 goals and eight assists across all competitions this season.

Perhaps like Lucas Bergvall, Nusa could be a player for Tottenham’s long-term plan, but Skov Olsen may just be ready to make the jump to the Premier League now.
