Nypan is one of the best young prospects in European football, and he has had a brilliant campaign with Rosenborg. He has accumulated 8 goals and 10 assists from 33 appearances in all competitions for the Norwegian outfit.
Both Arsenal and Man United are hot on the trail of the talented playmaker, but the Gunners have an edge. Odegaard has been sounded out by Nypan to gain an understanding of the environment and the pathway to the first-team at Arsenal.
The Norwegian is also trying to persuade his countryman to join the Gunners. Arsenal have an added advantage in signing the £10 million star with the Red Devils having told Nypan to bide his time until the summer to move to Old Trafford.
Huge talent
The 18-year-old plays as a central midfielder for Rosenborg and has excelled with his forward runs. His creativity and goalscoring are his main strengths, but he has worked hard defensively too with 2 tackles, 4 recoveries and 5 duels won per league game.
