Last summer, Sverre Nypan showed off his skills as he played for Rosenborg against Manchester United in a friendly match. It was a great opportunity for the 18-year-old midfielder to showcase his talent, and it seems like his performance caught the attention of some big clubs.
Reports are saying that Arsenal is now determined to acquire Nypan, who is also a target for Manchester City. The young Norwegian has already made 50 appearances for Rosenborg and is highly regarded as one of Europe's most promising players. Surprisingly, he may be available for a reasonable fee of £10 million, making him an attractive option for both clubs.
As the January transfer window approaches, there is a possibility of Nypan making a move to Arsenal. The timing could work out perfectly since the window falls during the Norwegian off-season. The Athletic reported that while there is no concrete decision yet about Nypan's future, Arsenal is in talks with his club and representatives to secure his services.
There is a belief that Nypan's fellow countryman, Martin Odegaard, who also plays for Arsenal, may have a hand in influencing his decision. If the deal goes through, Nypan is expected to join Mikel Arteta's first team, despite his young age and limited experience.
However, Manchester City is also in the mix for Nypan's signature. In fact, there were reports that the midfielder was set to fly to Manchester for talks with the Premier League champions. City, though, may have a different plan for Nypan, as they are looking to loan him out to one of their sister clubs first.
On Arsenal's side, they seem to have beaten City to the signing of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. Zubimendi is in the final stages of completing a deal to join the Gunners in the summer. But even with this impending addition, Arsenal is still actively looking for more players to strengthen their squad, especially after the recent injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka.
During a press conference on Friday, Arteta emphasized the importance of finding the right player to improve the team's performance. He acknowledged that losing key players to injuries has put them in a difficult situation, and they need to act accordingly to address their needs.
Meanwhile, Manchester City has been busy in the transfer market, with Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt being their third signing this month. They have also acquired defenders Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis earlier in the window. It seems like both Arsenal and City are determined to secure Nypan's services, and it remains to be seen which club will succeed in bringing him on board.
