Manchester City is making a strong bid to secure the signing of Rosenborg midfielder Sverre Nypan, who has drawn comparisons to Arsenal’s captain Martin Odegaard.
Nypan, at just 18 years old, has been identified as a rising star ever since his debut in Norway’s top league at the age of 15. With 60 senior appearances, he has amassed an impressive record of 13 goals and 11 assists.
Recent reports have linked Nypan to both Arsenal and Manchester City, with Arsenal initially leading the race. However, City has now emerged as a strong contender in the pursuit of the talented midfielder.
While Arsenal is in negotiations with Nypan’s representatives to pair him up with Odegaard, City is also making efforts to convince Nypan to join their ranks. City’s proposal includes a potential loan move to Girona in La Liga to provide Nypan with valuable first-team experience.
Nypan recently attended City’s match against Chelsea and toured the club, indicating his interest in a possible move to the Etihad.
As Nypan weighs his options, Arsenal remains in contention alongside another undisclosed club to secure his services.
