Arsenal are reportedly looking to sign Sverre Nypan from Norwegian side Rosenborg this month.
Norwegian outlet TV reports that the Gunners want to do a deal in the 2025 January transfer window, rather than wait until the summer.
The 18-year-old has been linked with a number of top clubs across Europe, including Aston Villa, Manchester City and Manchester United.
Reports have suggested that Aston Villa could make a January move for Sverre Nypan as well after having scouted the youngster for a while.
Several clubs showed interest in the midfielder over the summer, but had to wait until this month at earlies, as the youngster did not turn 18-years-old before December19th.
The £10million-rated midfielder has been compared to compatriot and Arsenal star Martin Odegaard.
