Arsenal are well placed to sign a record-breaking midfielder after Manchester United exited the race, while a report has revealed how much the deal will cost.
The transfer headlines at Arsenal this month – at least from an arrivals perspective – have revolded around Martin Zubimendi and the club’s search for a potent new striker.
However, bubbling away behind the scenes is the club’s efforts to bring one of world football’s brightest young talents to north London.
Sverre Nypan might not be a familiar name to most, though if he lives up to his vast potential, he’ll be a household name before long.
Others who’d scouted the player included Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Chelsea are also keen on the talented youngster.
Nypan plays for Norwegian side Rosenborg where he’s scooped their last two Young Player of the Year awards. However, ahead of the new Norwegian season kicking off next month, Rosenborg look set to cash in on their prized asset.
The number of clubs who remain in the race has been narrowed down, with the report claiming Man Utd are NOT among the final contenders.
However, Arsenal as well as Manchester City are among those who remain and ‘a decision regarding Nypan’s future is imminent.’
