Aston Villa president of football operations Monchi travelled to Norway on Monday with Alberto Benito to discuss details of a deal for Sverre Nypan.
According to a report by Nettavisen, Sverre Nypan is the subject of interest from Aston Villa. Other Premier League bigwigs have also been keen on signing the Rosenborg wonderkid in the summer transfer window. However, the 18-year-old prospect has chosen the West Midlands club as his next destination, with Monchi travelling to Norway to discuss the final details of the impending move.
Sverre Nypan and his soaring stock
Sverre Nypan has established himself as one of the best young midfield prospects in the world since breaking into the first-team squad at Rosenborg BK. The Scandinavian whizkid went under the radar during his formative years, although he was not with Rosenborg for a long time before making his senior bow.
The 18-year-old has already turned out over 50 times thus far for Rosenborg BK while chipping in with 14 goals and 11 assists. While the young midfielder has yet to break into his national squad, he has become a regular for Norway’s under-21 side.
Meanwhile, Nypan’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the Norwegian wonderkid, with Aston Villa in the pole position to secure his services in the summer transfer window.
Premier League adventure beckons
Aston Villa’s interest in Sverre Nypan is understandable. The Villans have been one of the most ambitious clubs in the Premier League since returning to the top flight as they aim to become a fixture in the UEFA Champions League. So, they have signed several top-class players, with Marcus Rashford among their targets for the summer transfer window.
Nypan is also a viable target for an ambitious club, considering he is one of the best young midfield prospects in the world. The 18-year-old Scandinavian wonderkid views Villa Park as his next destination, talks between Aston Villa and Rosenborg BK advancing. The move has progressed further, with Monchi travelling to Norway this week.
The Aston Villa president of football operations travelled to Norway alongside Alberto Benito, one of the Premier League club’s scouts, to discuss crucial details over a move. So, an agreement between the West Midlands outfit and Rosenborg BK might be close.
