According to The i Paper, his profile could also help unlock the best of Isak in attack.Nusa is reportedly valued at around £50 million ($66.7m), although that fee could increase significantly if he impresses at the upcoming World Cup.Liverpool.com says: Nusa fits the modern winger profile, something that Liverpool has been severely lacking on the left flank this season.
