Arsenal's hopes of adding to their squad before the January transfer window closes have taken another hit with the news that a top target will be staying at his club until the end of the season.
The north London club are under pressure from supporters to strengthen before the window slams shut on Monday night.
They are yet to bring in a player in January with a £60m bid rejected for Ollie Watkins rejected during the week.
Rosenborg midfielder Sverre Nypan was in London on Sunday night ahead of talks with the Gunners and the proposed move was thought to be advancing.
