Arsenal have been dealt a blow after Norwegian wonderkid Sverre Nypan decided to stay at Rosenborg until the summer. Nypan has been attracting interest from Arsenal and Manchester City’s sister club Girona, who coincidentally played each other in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Sverre Nypan has made a decision on his immediate future amid transfer interest from Arsenal. The highly-rated teenager was in talks to join the Gunners this month, but was also said to be considering offers from the likes of Girona and Aston Villa.

The teenager’s father, Arne Nypan, has now confirmed after talks were held with interested clubs that a decision is expected on his son’s future before the transfer window closes on Monday. “It is an advantage to put it behind us and make a decision before the window closes,” he told Nettavisen in Norway.

Sverre Nypan's father has set a transfer deadline for Arsenal as Girona also line up a move for the Norwegian wonderkid.

Arsenal have been told Sverre Nypan is set to make a decision on his future imminently. The Gunners are among a number of club’s tracking the Rosenborg midfielder and had been confident of signing him ahead of a number of Premier League rivals.
