ARSENAL have reportedly entered the race to sign Sverre Nypan, who has been dubbed the "next Martin Odegaard.". The 18-year-old midfielder is said to have caught the eye of several European clubs with a string of impressive displays for Rosenborg. Manchester United are reportedly one of the teams interested in acquiring the teenager's services.

The Red Devils are said to have scouted Nypan - who is represented by Erling Haaland's agent - Rafaela Pimenta - for several years. But according to The Telegraph, Arsenal are now "interested" in snapping him up. The north Londoners could land the teenager - who is regarded by many to be one of the best young talents in Europe - for the cut-price fee of £10million.

Nypan is aware of teams' reported interest in signing him but has so far remained coy on his future. When asked about a potential January exit, he told TV2:“I don’t know - we’ll see. “[Rumours] have been going on for a while. "You don’t get completely used to it but I am starting to a little.”.

Son Heung-Min had given the visitors the lead in the 25th minute against the run of play. But as they have done so often, the Gunners scored from a corner as Gabriel Magalhaes' header was bundled in as an own goal by Dominic Solanke.
