Sverre Nypan is delighted to sign for Manchester City.

Speaking with mancity.com, Sverre Nypan spoke of his delight at signing for Manchester City. The young midfielder also revealed that he is excited to be the latest Norwegian player to join Pep Guardiola’s side. Speaking on signing for Manchester City, Sverre Nypan said: “I am incredibly happy and proud to have joined Manchester City.”

“It’s a dream for any young footballer to become part of this Club and to join such a group of world-class talent.”

“I am still very young with a lot to learn. But the chance to be coached by Pep Guardiola, the best manager in the world, will only help me to become a better player.”

“There is already a special connection between Norway and Manchester City through Erling Haaland and Oscar Bobb, and I am very proud to have become the latest Norwegian player to have joined the club.”

Manchester City have landed one of the brightest young midfield prospects in European football.

In Sverre Nypan, Manchester City has signed one of the brightest young midfield prospects in football. Nypan burst onto the scene for Rosenberg making his first-team debut at 15 years of age. During his time at Rosenberg, he made a meteoric rise, and his impressive performances have now seen him sign for Manchester City.

Sverre Nypan predominantly plays as a number eight in midfield. He is adept at getting forward from midfield. In 70 appearances in Rosenberg’s first team, he scored 14 goals and added 11 assists. He is a two-footed midfielder blessed with a good range of passing. That aspect of his play should improve as he develops as a player. There is also an intelligence to Sverre Nypan’s play. His forward runs from midfield highlight this trait.

But it may be some time before Sverre Nypan plays for Manchester City. Tyrone Marshall has reported for Manchester Evening News that the young midfielder is expected to go out on loan next season. Furthermore, Marshall reports that no loan deal is currently lined up for Nypan. Lastly, Marshall reports that Nypan will report for Manchester City’s pre-season training, which begins on Monday, July 28.
