Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Norwegian prodigy Sverre Nypan, but they are not alone in the race to secure his signature.
Tottenham’s youth project under Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham Hotspur have established themselves as one of the most exciting clubs for youth development in recent years, with a pipeline of talented players making their way into the first team.
Players such as Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, Pape Matar Sarr, Antonin Kinsky and Mikey Moore are examples of players 22 or under, who have all enjoyed opportunities at senior level.
In fact, in recognition of the talent in his squad, manager Ange Postecoglou stated that he would be disappointed if another manager were to reap the rewards of the development of these players.
With the club still prioritising youth development, recent reports suggest that they have eyes on an 18-year-old Norwegian wonderkid.
Tottenham Hotspur show interest in Sverre Nypan
According to TBR Football sources, Tottenham Hotspur have expressed interest in Sverre Nypan, an 18-year-old midfielder currently at Rosenborg, whose performances have captured the attention of several elite clubs.
However, Tottenham are not alone in their pursuit, as Chelsea and Brighton & Hove Albion have also registered their interest in the player, alongside a host of other suitors across England and Europe.
TBR Football’s chief correspondent, Graeme Bailey, has revealed that Nypan is set for talks with Manchester City, with a visit to their match against Chelsea on his agenda.
Arsenal, too, have been heavily involved in discussions with the player, with the Gunners reportedly confident in their chances of securing his services.
Yet, sources close to the player insist that no final decision has been made, and contrary to reports, Nypan has not ruled out a move to Manchester United, a club that has followed his progress for some time.
How much is Sverre Nypan?
According to the publication, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Marseille, and Ajax are among the foreign clubs keen to secure Sverre Nypan’s services.
The Norwegian side has reportedly informed Nypan that he has the freedom to choose his next destination, with the club seeking a fee in the region of £10 million.
Over the past six weeks, the midfielder has carefully weighed up his options, knowing that this decision could define the trajectory of his career.
At just 18 years of age, Nypan has already amassed 60 competitive appearances for Rosenborg, contributing 13 goals and 11 assists—a remarkable record for someone so young.
