Several clubs were interested in the 18-year-old, including Tottenham and Chelsea.

But Brentford pushed hardest to sign him and agreed a reported club-record £23.5million fee with Club Brugge.

However, the deal has collapsed with the Bees pulling the plug after discovering knee and back problems as he underwent a medical.

Reporter Ben Jacobs claims the knee issue is “potentially quite serious”.

The two clubs are set to continue talks tomorrow but a transfer in this window is now unlikely.

Nusa has been touted as a future star and already has four Norway caps.

The wonderkid has scored four goals in 28 appearances this season.

Brentford could turn their attention to Said Benrahma as an alternative.
