Rosenborg midfielder Sverre Nypan was in London on Sunday night ahead of talks with Arsenal.
The 18-year-old Norwegian was with his family and agent Rafaela Pimenta in Erling Haaland’s box to watch Manchester City beat Chelsea on Saturday.
City’s sister club Girona also want Nypan while Arsenal are continuing to explore options to add a forward this week.
The midfielder, who plays for Rosenborg in the Norwegian first division, is currently weighing up his options.
The Gunners wish to recruit global emerging talent, while their short-term injury crisis has also given them new impetus to shop for depth in the January transfer window.
