Aston Villa are closing in on the signing of Sverre Nypan, a Norwegian wonderkid. The Birmingham club are confident of securing the signature of the mercurial 18-year-old, as they are in very advanced negotiations with him. Although Villa have yet to agree on personal terms with Nypan, they are working hard to finalize his signing to beat other suitors like Arsenal and City Football Group. David Ornstein from The Athletic confirms the reports from Norway and states there is 'optimism' at Villa Park about the transfer.

Aston Villa pushed to sign Sverre Halseth Nypan, but he decided to stay with Rosenborg for the season. The player is taking more time to decide on his preferred club.

Sverre Nypan is reportedly attracting serious attention from Aston Villa. Nypan and Rosenborg have agreed to evaluate transfer options in December. The Norwegian club has set a price tag exceeding €10 million.
