Norway have the opportunity to seal a place in the final four of the World Cup when they face England in a quarter-final showdown on Saturday evening.

Last featuring in the world's biggest competition back in 1998, Stale Solbakken's team have made a real impression in North America this summer, with Erling Haaland dominating the headlines so far after plundering seven goals in only four games.

The Manchester City striker isn't the only one catching the attention, though, as international teammate Antonio Nusa is one of a number of players to excel for Norway.

The tricky left-winger who is blessed with pace has one World Cup goal to his name already, a stunning curling strike that found the top corner in their 2-1 round of 32 win over Ivory Coast.

Nusa's name will already be familiar to many after talk of a Premier League move in the past, something which will now in fact ramp up ahead of the new season after catching the eye for his country at the World Cup.

North London battle for Nusa

Tottenham are among a host of Premier League clubs who are sizing up a summer move for Nusa, according to TEAMtalk, with Spurs now looking to imporve their forward line after bolstering their backline and midfield already in the summer transfer window.

Having already impressed at club level for RB Leipzig, interest in the 21-year-old has stepped up after taking his chance on the international stage.

Tottenham have always admired the Oslo-born star and previously tried to sign him during the January transfer window in 2024 prior to his failed move to Brentford.

Arsenal, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace are the other three Premier League clubs joining and Tottenham in having an interest in Nusa.

The player looks set to have interest in his services from elsewhere as well, with AC Milan, Napoli, Roma, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona also credited with interest.

Haaland praise for Nusa

Haaland may be the Norwegian player who regularly comes in for praise, but the prolific striker dished out some of his own when previously speaking about Nusa.

Making a name for himself in Belgium with Club Brugge and looking set to secure a Premier League move in 2024, Nusa was hailed by his fellow countryman.

"He's fantastic," stated the City striker. "So it is important to take care of him and not hype him too much, even though he is a great talent.

"It is important to leave him alone and give him the opportunity to develop."

Nusa has taken his game even further in the two years since Haaland's praise and a summer move from RB Leipzig may well now happen with the Premier League a likely destination.
