Manchester United are closing in on a deal for Arsenal teenager Ayden Heaven, a source has told ESPN. United are nearing an agreement with Arsenal for the 18-year-old defender, but the move is not yet complete.

Premier League giants Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Arsenal defender Ayden Heaven, with a medical set to take place in the coming days. This move marks a significant development between two of England’s biggest football clubs academies.

Arsenal are reportedly closing in on the signing of Sverre Nypan, who has been dubbed the 'next Martin Odegaard' and was in attendance for the Gunners' win over Manchester City

Alongside their pursuit of Nypan, the Gunners are also believed to be exploring centre-forward options in the winter transfer market. Injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus have left them light up top and dented their chances of catching Liverpool in the title race.

How old is Sverre Nypan? He is 18 years old and is already a key member of the Norwegian U21 national team. Nypan actually became the youngest-ever player in Rosenborg’s history

Arsenal have been handed a significant boost in their attempts to beat other suitors to the signing of Sverre Halseth Nypan
