Arsenal target Sverre Nypan transfer coup to go alongside Martin Zubimendi deal | OneFootball

Gunners hoping to beat number of top rivals to signing of one of Europe’s brightest prospects

Nypan became the youngest player ever to represent the club and has been scouted by several top European sides since then.

Arsenal are understood to be interested in the teenager and reports in Norway claim he could be allowed to leave for around £10million.

The Gunners may prove an attractive next destination for Nypan given that they are captained by fellow Norwegian Martin Odegaard.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has also shown a willingness to blood young players this season, namely Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Arsenal are looking to revamp their midfield as both Jorginho and Thomas Partey, who are over 30, are out of contract in the summer.

Arsenal are pursuing a summer deal for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who has a £51m release clause in his current contract.

Nypan is regarded as a player with huge potential and winning the race for his signature would be a coup for Arsenal.

The club are keen to add a forward this month after Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus both suffered serious injuries.

Arsenal are long-term admirers of Benjamin Sesko, whom they tried to sign last summer but he ended up signing a new contract with RB Leipzig.

Sesko is expected to be on the move at the end of this season, with a deal for him this month viewed as difficult but not impossible.
