Manchester City defeated Arsenal in the transfer battle involving the signature of a promising youngster. The Cityzens, in another move to strengthen the team, announced the signing of Sverre Nypan from Rosenborg.
The young talent was a target for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal before his move to Manchester. He is regarded as one of the best players among his colleagues, and this has made him a sought-after player among the European giants.
He, however, decided to continue his development at the Etihad Stadium, rejecting proposals from other teams, particularly Arsenal, another top team in England. Nypan claimed that it is a dream for every young player to be part of the Manchester City football club. Therefore, it was easy to choose Pep Guardiola’s side.
“I am incredibly happy and proud to have joined Manchester City,” Nypan said. “It’s a dream for any young footballer to become part of this Club and to join such a group of world-class talent.”
Also, two Norwegian nationals, Oscar Bobb and Erling Haaland, could have influenced his decision and helped Manchester City to defeat Arsenal in the transfer battle.
“There is already a special connection between Norway and Manchester City through Erling Haaland and Oscar Bobb, and I am very proud to have become the latest Norwegian player to have joined the club,” Nypan said.
Speaking about the new signing, City Director of Football Hugo Viana described the Norwegian as a talented player who has many years to improve himself. He stated that the club are ready to support him with everything necessary as he develops his football career.
Meanwhile, City are having a very busy summer transfer. Nypan joined Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki and Marcus Bettinelli as the new faces among Pep Guardiola’s players. However, while others will immediately get into Pep’s team, Nypan will likely go out on loan for further development.
The youngster might not be able to secure a place in the first team squad; therefore, a loan move will be a better option for his development.
Also, Manchester City have finalized the signing of Dexter Oliver from Tottenham Hotspur.
