Arsenal’s New Signing En Route to London to Finalize Transfer”
Arsenal are close to securing their first signing of the January transfer window, with 17-year-old Norwegian midfielder Sverre Nypan already in London to finalize the move.
The Gunners have prioritized Nypan’s acquisition amid competition from Manchester United and Manchester City, as Mikel Arteta seeks reinforcements to sustain Arsenal’s title ambitions. Reports indicate that Arsenal are in advanced negotiations with Rosenborg BK and Nypan’s representatives, with optimism high that the deal will soon be completed.
Nypan, one of Norway’s brightest young talents, has impressed this season with five goals and six assists in 19 league appearances for Rosenborg. His standout performance came in a 4-0 victory over Lillestrøm, where he scored a stunning hat-trick. Capable of playing both No. 8 and No. 10 roles, the versatile midfielder is seen as a perfect fit for Arsenal’s youth-focused recruitment strategy.
While Arsenal lead the race, Manchester City remain a contender, reportedly preparing a development plan for Nypan that could include a loan spell at Girona. However, Manchester United, initially interested, appear to have fallen behind. Rosenborg value Nypan at £10 million and are fielding multiple offers, though Arsenal’s strong relationship with the Norwegian club is expected to aid their efforts.
Represented by top agent Rafaela Pimenta, who also manages Erling Haaland, Nypan’s move comes at an opportune time during Norway’s off-season. Arsenal are eager to finalize the deal as they look to strengthen their squad and maintain momentum in the hunt for silverware.
