EXPERT TAKE
ESPN’s resident scout Tor-Kristian Karlsen seems to be at why RB Leipzig ahead Antonio Nusa and Lyon’s Malick Fofana are being watched by Liverpool.
Nusa burst onto the scene in 2021, debuting for Stabaek in Norway aged 16 earlier than Membership Brugge picked him up. His early improvement in Belgium was compromised by persistent accidents, limiting him to a single league begin in his first season, whereas a Deadline Day swap to Brentford in January 2024 fell via after he failed his medical attributable to knee and again issues. Nonetheless, Nusa marked a memorable second by scoring towards Porto in September 2022, turning into the second-youngest purpose scorer in Champions League historical past.
His transfer to RB Leipzig in the summertime of 2024 introduced a step up, and whereas accidents and the bodily calls for of the Bundesliga initially stalled his improvement, the winger completed the season in a optimistic method. Primarily deployed as an inverted winger from the left, Nusa thrives in one-on-one conditions, incessantly chopping inside onto his stronger proper foot.
A spotlight got here in June’s World Cup qualifier for Norway towards Italy, the place he beat three defenders with a stunning dribble earlier than unleashing a exact end from simply fringe of the field. That purpose underlined his standout traits: tight management, explosive acceleration and spectacular one-vs.-one expertise. Comfy interchanging throughout the frontline, he repeatedly drifts into harmful areas to mix and create overloads, so may match effectively at Liverpool on this regard.
However the Reds are additionally reported to be watching one other of probably the most promising wingers in Europe. Fofana joined Lyon from Gent two years in the past for €19.5m as a growing participant and it’s truthful to say that he hasn’t but escaped that label. Although final season marked a mini-breakthrough of types, he began simply over half of Lyon’s Ligue 1 video games and, regardless of vital flashes of inspiration, consistency and defensive utility are nonetheless work in progress.
Normally deployed as a left winger, Fofana doesn’t fairly match the skillset of the normal inverted broad attacker; certain, he cuts infield on to his stronger foot however he’s equally more likely to make the most of his dribbling means whereas hugging the touchline. In actual fact, final season’s return of 1.57 profitable crosses (per 90 minutes) locations him within the high 5 of Ligue 1 wingers.
Fofana can be an incredible impression participant. His late targets proved essential on 4 events final season (scoring 4 inside the final 5 minutes of video games) and having the younger winger working at defenders with drained legs proved a wise tactical plot. Whereas technically sturdy and outfitted with spectacular acceleration, his off-the-ball working is one other of his core strengths. Solely PSG star Ousmane Dembele recorded extra progressive runs than the Belgian (5.2 per 90), which underscores his busy, agile nature.
