That is according to manager Ronny Deila, who has stated his hope that he will keep the 18-year-old forward until the end of the season.

Spurs remain in talks with the Belgian team, as reported by Standard Sport, with a breakthrough still to be found over Nusa’s transfer fee.

A deal worth around £26million is in the offing but reports suggest Brugge want to secure a fee of at least £31m, to match what AC Milan paid them for Charles De Ketelaere in 2022.

Tottenham are ready to loan the youngster back to Brugge for the remainder of the season and Deila has said such a clause will benefit the player.

He told reporters in Belgium: “If it doesn’t happen now, it will be this summer.

“The most important thing is that he stays focused and wants to get better. I think he is handling [the speculation] well, because he is still young.

“Now, a decision has to be made and he has to do the best he can for us. I hope and think we will keep him until June. And then, he will be even more ready to leave
