Nusa looks a smart signing by Brentford if they do indeed pull it off, though it’s worth noting that Romano has not yet given this his trademark ‘here we go’, so there may still be time for one or two twists and turns to this story.

This looks like a blow for Tottenham, however, who would’ve done well to recruit this fine young player.
