At just 18 years old, Nypan has already made a name for himself as one of Europe’s most exciting young midfield talents, attracting attention from some of the biggest clubs in England and beyond.

Like Man City, Arsenal have also been in talks with Nypan and his representatives as they look to bolster their midfield with another rising star.

The Gunners are reportedly confident in their chances of securing the Norwegian prodigy, who has been compared to their captain, Martin Odegaard, for his technical ability and creativity.

However, Man City remain strong contenders. In addition to visiting the club’s training facilities, Nypan is also expected to engage in talks with the Premier League champions and attend their clash with Chelsea.

Man City are keen to add him to their roster of young talent, which could throw a wrench in Arsenal’s plans.

But the competition doesn’t end there. Manchester United are also long-time admirers of Nypan and are in the running.

Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Brighton & Hove Albion have also expressed interest.

Outside the Premier League, European heavyweights Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Olympique Marseille, and Ajax are keeping close tabs on the situation.

Rosenborg value Nypan at £10 million and have granted the midfielder the freedom to choose his next destination.

Over the past six weeks, Nypan has been weighing his options, carefully considering where to take the next step in his career.

Nypan has already racked up 60 competitive appearances for Rosenborg, notching 13 goals and 11 assists.

He has the ability to dictate play, create chances, and affect the game in the top end of the pitch, cementing his status as one of Europe’s brightest prospects.
