Antonio Eromonsele Nordby Nusa (born 17 April 2005) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays for Belgian Pro League club Club Brugge and the Norway national team.
Club career[edit]
Starting his career in Langhus IL, he moved to Stabæk's youth section at the age of 13.[3] He was given the chance for the senior team in early 2021, scored in a friendly match, and subsequently signed for the senior squad.[4] He made his Eliteserien debut in May 2021 against Rosenborg, and scored his first goal in June 2021 against Bodø/Glimt.[3]
During the last transfer day of summer 2021, he signed a contract with Club Brugge. On 13 September 2022, he scored a goal in his Champions League debut in a 4–0 away win against FC Porto,[5] becoming the youngest player to score on his debut in the competition.[6]
In the 2024 January transfer window, Nusa was linked with a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur or Brentford, but after failing a medical with the latter, a move to Brentford now seems unlikely.[7][8][9][10]
International career[edit]
Nusa was called up by the Norway U19s for the elite qualifying round for the 2023 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, and scored the winner in a 2–1 win over France in Orléans.[11]
In August 2023, Nusa received his first call-up to the Norway senior national team by head coach Ståle Solbakken, for a friendly match against Jordan and a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match against Georgia.[12] He scored his first international goal for Norway in his debut match against Jordan.[13]
Personal life[edit]
Nusa was born in Norway to a Nigerian father and Norwegian mother.[14]
