Looks a bit slow and heavy footed in those clips.
Sverre Nypan | Norwegian media: Will do a PL tour in December
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Buzzing mate, will certainly keep a keen eye on things!
I had a feeling we would get him.
I looked up player websites and there is hardly any right footed CAM's that can drift out wide like Amad whilst still being creative.
Everyone else plays or moves to Barcelona or Bayern and players like Cherki or Guler are left footed whilst others are too direct goalscorers attacking like Garnacho.

And @horsechoker , yep. He's basically Greenwood level of two footedness.
I'm not saying he's not good enough, I don't know, but he's obviously going to be. I just think for our formation he likely won't be thrust into a midfield two. And I agree, the options we have at #10 would likely afford him enough game time. Garnacho is not really a great fit at #10 and I could genuinely see him sold if he doesn't make a huge effort to adapt and improve his game tactically. Rashford is obviously out, and Mount is the new Shaw. So at the moment there's plenty of chances.
If he develops a lot physically then of course he could play as a playmaker from deep, but probably not at the moment.
There's a short write up about him in this Wyscout article about the Scandinavian leagues' best talents.
he even looks left footed at times because he can dribble with his left
it's really rare to see players do that, even if they are comfortable striking the ball with their weaker foot
Only really Nypan & Xavi Simons plays kind of the way Amorim would want - i personally find Xavi Simons a tad overrated.
Nico Williams was a player who i felt could maybe play crosses in to Hojlund but he isnt really creative centrally either. However i was wondering if Amorim would like his ambidextrity. Feel like he has regressed a bit though.
Players like Wirtz are probably going to Bayern & as far as i know play much more centrally than as a LM/LAM.
Nearly everyone else plays like direct as an inverted forward/striker.
Baena, Sudakov, Moleiro, Ben Seghir ... just to name a few right footed options
The market is stacked with young creative talents
Ben Seghir is a really interesting one that I would personally love.
Ben Seghir is too direct imo and takes too many shots and doesnt match what Amad does on the right imo. Sudakov is the most creative player but im unsure if he can drift wide like Amorim wants his attacking midfielders to do.
Ben seghir starts more out wide, Sudakov starts more centrally. Nypan however plays as a central player that occupies the LAM/LF role usually drifting wide from the centre.
I have only watched highlights though
Ben Seghir has a similar heatmap to Nypan. Perhaps better technique too, but I would imagine he would cost a fair bit more coming from France and looking at the fee we paid for Martial for example and what Doue has just gone for to PSG.
He's missed few big chances compared to Nypan so probably a better finisher. Also set up fewer big chances, less key passes, less successful dribbles.
Also he hasnt played that many matches. So Nypan, despite being in a weaker league has more first team experience and is used to playing week after week
At the risk of being called greedy I'd happily take them both
reminds a bit and plays like Odegaard
One who is more of a shadow striker type to keep an eye on is Junior Kroupi at Lorient in Ligue 2.
If we had the funds to play with, he'd be great to buy and loan to Nice for a season or two whilst he ripens.
Berry shrew
Rumours saying the price will be about give or take 10 million pounds.
Which would make this a cool, risk free gamble that shouldn't backfire financially. We need to set aside £30m, every year, for deals like this. If you sign 9 over a 3 year period and 30% work out then you are doing well. What if your hit rate becomes 50%? That's about four first team players acquired for £40m. This should be Berrada's demand to the Sporting structure.
Agree. We have spent so much money on players who not only get paid insane wages, but also have huge price tags. I know we will be in the market for some exceptional players with high value, but I prefer the up and coming players tbh.
Absolutely ridiculous!
He's a 17 year old playing in the equivalent of League one/The Scottish Premier league.
For some context this would make him Rosenborgs record sale.
Anything more than around £2/3 million is way overpriced for a complete punt.
You aren't living in the real world.
£30M for Amad seems an absolute bargain, so if Nypan comes here and is just as good £10M will be a steal
Ole fetched Amad Diallo and the club paid £30m for him. That was a proper punt, now look at him.
Nypan is an absolutely tremendous talent that is worth a shot. Especially as we casually missed out on the two latest talents to come out of Norways talent factory of late in Odegaard and Haaland. Talents are bought from Brazilian clubs for an absolute fortune in comparison, and £10m for a player that is obviously superior to his older peers even at a very young stage of development.
Besides, We barely scraped a win against Bodø-Glimt, a team Nypans team beat back in October, so maybe ease it a bit with the rethoric, we are not arguing in a position of strength
Birmingham spent 15m on Jay Stansfield.Nypan has more talent than that,10m is a steal.
2/3 million? Wrexham will be in for him.
Yeah that’s not happening. He’s performing week in week out, he’s highly regarded and clearly looks to have talent. £10m would be a bargain if anything.
We paid 3 or 4 times more for Amad who hadn’t played a first team game at the time I’m sure.
10 million pounds? Wow, I've seen a lot of him and he is a decent talent but not top tier.
Spurs bought Bergvall for around 10 mil, no? And Nypan is a tier or two below him.
If we buy Nypan I expect him to be a squad player and that we move him on to Everton in a couple of years.
2 mil tops and if they don't accept, move on.
Why would you say that? Swedish league is not even close to the Norwegian league. So probably something else you see?
£10m is not a lot of money. I honestly have no idea what planet some of you lot are living on. £2m - fecking hell
I was comparing the players, not the leagues they came from. How is what league they come from relevant at all?
Are you suggesting the strength of the league decides how big of a talent a player is?
I've seen both a lot and in my opinion Bergvall is a much bigger talent and if he went for 10 mil Nypan is worth 2, maybe, 3 mil max.
I'm not saying he is a bad talent, I think he is a decent talent who is worth taking a punt on for 2-3 mil. He is just not a top tier talent worth anything close to 10 mil.
If we buy him and I'm wrong I will be more than happy to eat my words, though.
He’s the best talent to come out of ronseberg this generation, they aren’t going to just let him go for 2 million when there are multiple clubs in for him. I can see us haggling though and still getting him if the player is set on coming here. I would take him here till the end of the season and see how he integrates and then loan back for their euro campaign if he’s not ready.
It's all relative though, isnt it. 10 million isn't a lot for a top tier talent, but it is a lot for a second or third tier talent.£10m is not a lot of money. I honestly have no idea what planet some of you lot are living on. £2m - fecking hell
Anyhow, I have no interest in arguing, I just came to share an opinion from someone who watched him a lot.
And, as I said in previous post, I'll be more than happy to eat my words if we buy him and he turns out a bargain.
We only paid EUR 18m for Amad. Rest were incentives etc. Not sure how many got triggered as Amad barely played for us until this season.
First of all, this kid is a top tier talent. He has cemented his place in the starting eleven at Rosenborg and the Norwegian league is better than the Swedish.
I can’t understand how Bergvall is the better talent. I have watched both of them play multiple times. Obviously Nypan more than Bergvall, but I just don’t see how Bergvall top tier and Nypan not.
And to finish it off; Lads, it’s Tottenham.
Great talent that seems to be on his way to bigger things. Doubt he's still in Norway when they start their new season. As for the price, difficult to say. But 10 mill seems excessive to say the least. Maybe somewhere around half of that.
Ideally he signs a deal with us and is loaned out to a Championship club for the rest of the season.

No, he was playing games for Atlanta and had played in the CL. That was also the Italian league, this is norwegian league. So the league strength is also different.
B/G have been regularly doing sales in that region these past few years, including Grønbæk who went to Rennes for 15m this summer and instantly became a hit. Also for some context, he has now had two full season as a first team player, including one as a bonafide starter, since he made his league debut just shy of his 16th birthday two days ago.
