One of the latest links surrounding Arsenal and some new young talent joining the club has seen Sverre Nypan on their radar.
The youngster made his way through the youth ranks with Norwegian side Rosenborg, making his debut in November 2022.
At just 15 years old at the time, Nypan became the youngest-ever player to represent his team and start the match.
Since then, he has continued to impress in Norway, even making his way through the youth international ranks at the same time.
So, with a potential move to Arsenal on the cards, here’s a look at everything you need to know about Sverre Nypan.
What is Sverre Nypan’s age?
Sverre Nypan was born on December 19, 2006, which makes him 18 years old at the time of writing, and at the start of his career.
While that is the case, he has been playing first-team football for Rosenborg ever since he turned 15.
What position does Sverre Nypan play?
Through his budding career so far, Nypan has largely played as a central midfielder for his side, but can play elsewhere too.
Some matches have seen him feature as an attacking midfielder or even as a centre-forward, suggesting he is capable of being versatile.
What height is Sverre Nypan?
Sverre Nypan is approximately 1.82 metres tall – or roughly six feet and zero inches in height.
Sverre Nypan squad number history
Throughout his first-team career so far, Sverre Nypan has only worn the number 41 shirt for Rosenborg through four different seasons.
It is the same number currently worn by Declan Rice at Arsenal.
Sverre Nypan style of play
Sverre Nypan has largely played in midfield in his career, with his ability to use both feet well creating plenty of passing angles.
His ability to pass through the lines makes him a dangerous attacking playmaker, but he is also comfortable in deeper possession.
It means Nypan can comfortably play as a creative option as well as a possession-based role, which has led to comparisons with Martin Odegaard.
Sverre Nypan to Arsenal transfer
Arsenal have been heavily linked with a transfer for Sverre Nypan, with the youngster showing plenty of potential for the future.
The Gunners are looking to strengthen their ranks with promising young options who can offer performances for now and in the future.
They aren’t alone in that interest though as Manchester City and Manchester United have been linked with Nypan ahead of a busy period for the star.
