WHAT HAPPENED
Arsenal are reportedly considering a new left winger when the transfer window reopens in January, with RB Leipzig's Antonio Nusa among the names under consideration.

KEY CONTEXT
The Gunners signed Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge in the summer; he has provided four assists so far but recently suffered a hamstring injury while playing for Greece in the Nations League. Eberechi Eze is currently the immediate deputy on the left, but is described as not being a natural in that attacking role. Arsenal have also moved on from Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, leaving the club to weigh alternatives for the left flank.

WHY NUSA?
Nusa was reportedly on Arsenal's radar during the last transfer window and has since impressed for RB Leipzig and Norway, registering six goal contributions in the ongoing campaign. Arsenal are said to view him as a player who could provide competition for Tzolis. The report places a potential price tag at around £60m for a deal.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
The suggestion in the report is that any move would be explored when the transfer window reopens at the turn of the year. No transfer has been confirmed.

KEY FACTS
- Christos Tzolis: signed from Club Brugge; four assists; hamstring injury for Greece (Nations League).
- Eberechi Eze: immediate deputy on the left but not a natural in the attacking role.
- Antonio Nusa: under consideration in the previous window; six goal contributions this season for club and country.
- Estimated asking figure mentioned at around £60m.
