Sverre Nypan set to join Manchester City

Manchester City are now reportedly closing in all signing highly-rated Norwegian midfielder Sverre Nypan from Rosenborg.

According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Aston Villa were confident of signing talented Rosenborg young midfielder Sverre Nypan, but they have been left in shock after Manchester City hijacked their move for the youngster.

Nypan is highly rated across Europe, and he is expected to develop into a top-class player with the right guidance. Recent reports had claimed that the teenage sensation was close to agreeing personal terms with Aston Villa.

The Rosenborg midfielder has now agreed a move to Manchester City, and the report from TBR Football has claimed that the Premier League giants were keeping tabs on him since January. Manchester City have been very active in the transfer market over the last few windows. They have brought in multiple players, and it seems that they are looking to build for the future.

Nypan would be a future investment

The 18-year-old could be a long-term asset for Manchester City. The opportunity to join the Citizens will be quite exciting for the player. City are one of the biggest ships in the world, and they could provide him with the platform to fight for major trophies.

Nypan would get to work alongside world-class players at the Premier League club, and Pep Guardiola could play a key role in his development. The Spanish manager is widely regarded as the best in the world, and he has done well to groom several young players throughout his managerial career.

Aston Villa have an exciting project as well, but they are simply not at the level required to win major trophies like Manchester City. It is no surprise that the young midfielder has chosen to join the Premier League giants.

Manchester City failed to win major trophies last year, and they will be desperate to bounce back strongly. Signing the best young players in the world will certainly help them build a formidable squad.

The 18-year-old midfielder has been likened to the Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard because of his technical ability and vision. It will be interesting to see if he can add creativity and unpredictability to the Manchester City attack in the coming years.
