Arsenal‘s hopes of adding to their squad before the January transfer window closes have taken another hit with the news that a top target will be staying at his club until the end of the season.

The north London club are under pressure from supporters to strengthen before the window slams shut on Monday night, having failed to match the standards of the previous campaign.

They are yet to bring in a player in January and saw a reported £60m bid for Ollie Watkins rejected by Aston Villa this week.

Rosenborg midfielder Sverre Nypan was in London on Sunday night ahead of talks with the Gunners and the proposed move was thought to be advancing.

Manchester City’s sister club Girona also want the midfielder, who only turned 18 last month.

However, The Athletic’s David Ornstein reports that any such transfer will not be taking place until the summer.

Nypan made 24 appearances last season, scoring nine goals and registering five assists for the Rosenborg first team.

In his 60 senior appearances, he has logged an impressive 24 goal involvements as an attacking midfielder, including 13 goals and 11 assists.

The teenager made his debut for Rosenborg on 6 November 2022, starting in a league match against Jerv.

He became the youngest player ever to represent Rosenborg at 15 years and 322 days and is now a reliable starter for the club.

In May 2023, he became the youngest player to score in a league match for them, at just 16 years and 145 days old.
