According to GiveMeSport, Arsenal have put forward a ‘promising offer’ to secure the signature of Rosenborg’s promising talent, Sverre Halseth Nypan.
Norway has been a hotbed for emerging football stars, including the likes of Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard, and Alexander Sorloth. Nypan, an 18-year-old with 15 goal contributions in the Eliteserien last season, has caught the eye of numerous top European clubs.
Initially, Manchester United were seen as the frontrunners, given that playing for them was reportedly Nypan’s dream. However, United are currently focusing on more seasoned players for immediate squad enhancement, which has opened the door for Arsenal to make their move.
Arsenal have not only entered the bidding but have also involved Odegaard, who has been talking to Nypan to sway him towards the Emirates. The ‘promising offer’ from Arsenal seems to have piqued Nypan’s interest in a move to north London. Rosenborg is prepared to part ways with their star for around £10m, considering his contract has less than 18 months remaining.
Nypan is versatile, adept in both an attacking midfield role and as a box-to-box player. Arsenal’s current creative midfield options are limited, with Odegaard being the main man and Fabio Vieira failing to make a significant impact. While Ethan Nwaneri shows promise, he’s not yet ready for consistent Premier League action, suggesting that Nypan could be a strategic long-term signing for Arsenal.
It will be intriguing to see if Arsenal can outmaneuver Manchester United, the record Premier League champions, to secure Nypan’s services before the transfer window shuts.
Arsenal transfer news: Mikel Arteta ‘trying to get marquee star’ as pre-contract agreed
January has been filled with transfer gossip around Arsenal, but they haven’t made any signings yet.
As contenders for the Premier League title, Arsenal aim to close the gap with Liverpool, and new players could significantly boost their campaign, especially with their growing list of injuries. Mikel Arteta has openly expressed his intent to recruit new talent in the coming week or so.
The clock is running down for Arsenal, particularly as they’re in dire need of a new forward. The absence of a prolific goal scorer has been a noticeable weakness this season, affecting their performance in critical matches.
However, finding and signing top players in the middle of the season is no easy task, and Arsenal are still searching for the right fit, as per the Mirror. Here’s what’s happening at the Emirates:
Kieran Tierney, whose contract with Arsenal is coming to an end, has signed a pre-contract agreement to return to Celtic. Arsenal had made it clear that they wouldn’t extend his contract, which opened the door for him to negotiate as a free agent. Despite interest from various clubs, both abroad and within the Premier League, Tierney decided to go back to Celtic, as reported by the Telegraph.
This deal might mean Tierney has to bide his time before moving, even though there was talk of a potential January transfer.
Last season, Tierney was sent on loan to Real Sociedad where he played regularly, but now he’s back with Arsenal, ready to contribute.
