Antonio Eromonsele Nordby Nusa (born 17 April 2005) is a Norwegian professional footballer who plays for German club RB Leipzig and the Norway national team. He's been described by many as one of the most exciting young prospects in world football.
Starting his career at Langhus, he moved to Stabæk's youth section at the age of 13. He signed his first professional contract with Stabæk in May 2020.
He was given the chance to train with the senior team in early 2021, and subsequently given a new three-year contract in May of that year. On 30 May 2021, he made his Eliteserien debut against Rosenborg. On 27 June 2021, he scored his first goal for the club in a 4âÂÂ1 defeat against Bodø/Glimt. He made his full debut three days later, scoring two goals against Viking FK.
During the last transfer day of summer 2021, he signed a contract with Club Brugge. On 13 September 2022, he scored a goal on his Champions League debut in a 4âÂÂ0 away win against Porto, becoming the youngest Norwegian player to feature, and the second youngest player of any nationality to score in the competition.
On 13 August 2024, Nusa signed a five-year contract with RB Leipzig in Germany. Later that month, on 24 August, he scored a goal on his Bundesliga debut in a 1âÂÂ0 victory over VfL Bochum.
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 2âÂÂ1 win over France in Orléans.
In August 2023, Nusa received his first call-up to the Norway senior national team by head coach StÃÂ¥le Solbakken, for a friendly match against Jordan and a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match against Georgia. He scored his first international goal for Norway in his debut match against Jordan, which they won by 6âÂÂ0.
Unlike many wingers who struggle when switched flanks, Nusa is equally effective on both wings. Renowned for his explosive pace and direct playing style, he offers a significant threat on the counter-attack. His technical ability and flair have earned him the nickname "Norwegian Neymar."
Nusa was born in Norway to a Norwegian mother and Nigerian father.
