£10m wonderkid Arsenal and Man City really want to sign was at the Etihad for 3-1 win vs Chelsea
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have become Premier League title contenders again and in the last two seasons, they have pushed Manchester City to the brink in the race to become the champions of England.
Gone are the days where it seemed unlikely that Arsenal would ♍be able to go toe-to-toe with City both on and off the pitch.
Declan Rice’s move to the Emirates🅰 Stadium in 2023 is the best example of how the Gunners can beat the Sky Blues in a transfer tug-of-war.
Once again, Manchester City and Arsenal have locked horns in a race to sign the same player as both clubs are in the pursuit of Rosenborg wonderkid Sverre Nypan.
David Ornstein revealed Nypan is keen on a move to Arsenal.
Arsenal are huge admirers of Nypan as well and based on current circumstances, a move to London could over the blue side of Manchester could be considered more appealing as Mikel Arteta’s side are placed second🍷 while Pep Guardiola’s men are in fourth place in the league.

Arsenal and Man City target Sverre Nypan spotted at the Etihad during Chelsea clash
However, sources informed TBR Football that Nypan is set to hold talks with Manchester City.
The 18-year-old has a long list of suitors, with Manchester United interested in Nypan’s signature as well.
While Arsenal are confident of signing Nypan, valued at £10 million by Rosenborg was “in attendance” at the Etihad Stadium to witness Manchester City beat Chelsea 3-1 in their latest outing, according to Fabrizio Roman🔜o.
The Italian journalist went on to report that the Norwegian visited Manchester on Friday as he was presented with th🧸e project while a loan move to Girona was also discussed.
Fabrizio Romano revealed that so far, the sought-after midfielder is yet to decide his next dest🎶🍃ination.
Nypan was spotted at the Etihad Stadium as his countryman Erling Haaland starred against Chelsea, scoring the winning goal while also assisting Phil Foden’s late💟 strike.
The teenager is one🌳 of the most gifted up-and-coming talents in Europe, capable of playing as a number eight, as an attacking midfielder and as a striker as well — with a whole host of club𒈔s hoping to develop him into a superstar.
Norway have become a hotbed of young talent, producing 🀅big name like Haaland, Martin Odegaard, Oscar Bobb, Antonio ꧂Nusa and Nypan over the years.
Martin Odegaard convincing Sverre Nypan to sign for Arsenal
Odegaard is persuading Nypan to join Arsenal over Manchester United, whiꦐch goes to show how incredible a prospect he is.
The report reiterated that Mikel Arteta’s side were the frontruꦏnners in the race to secure the youngster’s services, who has eight goals and se🍎ven assists in the Eliteserien this season.

But Odegaard migh♔t have a tall task on his hands as🧸 Manchester City have ramped up their interest to sign Nypan.
Savinho’s rise indicates that the prospect of heading to one of City’s sister clubs in Girona is an attractive one for any young player as they get regular first-team football with a chance to play under Pep Guardiola one day.
Unlike in the Brazilian winger’s case, Manchester City could simply send Nypan on loan and if he does stand✅ out in Spain, they would not have♊ to pay a king’s ransom to sign him.
However, the advantage Arsenal could have in the battle to sign the highly-touted technician is that so far, it seems like their plan is♌ to offer him a berth in the first-team straightaway.
It will be interesting ꦐto see which project ends up bei💃ng the one that Nypan believes is best-suited for his development.
Manchester City’s track record of success is there for all to see but at Arsenal, the Trondheim-born prospect could be part of a side that hav𒉰e the potential to dominate English and Eur☂opean football in the future.
