TA wrote an article today to analyze Manchester City's 18-year-old Norwegian new player Nipan.
Manchester City spent £12.5 million this summer to sign 18-year-old midfielder Svere Nipan from Norwegian team Rosenberg and signed a five-year contract with him. £12.5 million is also one of the highest transfer fees Norwegian team has ever received.
Nipan, a treasure of Rosenberg, made his first appearance for the first team when he was only 15 years old and 322 days old, and became the youngest first-team player in Rosenberg's history. Before that, he had been training with the first team since he was 14 years old.
So far, Nipan has played for 5,000 minutes for the first team, which is almost twice as long as his national team predecessor - Odgao, who was once known as a talented player, played at the age of 18.
When Odegao joined Real Madrid in 2015, he was only 17 years old
Despite this, he still pointed out that Nipan is unlikely to enter Manchester City's first team immediately, and the Blue Moon is expected to rent him out in the short term.
Nipan is an offensive midfielder with skill and skill, and can dribble through opponents, which is beyond doubt. He has the necessary vision to break through the defense line and create opportunities for his teammates. Although creativity and talent cannot be compared with his "predecessor" in various senses, Odegao, his diligent attitude on the court will make Manchester City confident in creating a long-term training plan for him.
The key question is whether he will become a pure No. 10 player, or he will be more inclined to be a player in the midfield but like to be in the back.
Although judging from his previous performance in the game, what he is best at is creating and seizing opportunities in the opponent's penalty area. But he also has a fighting spirit, so although his ball grabbing skills are not yet superb, he really enjoys this aspect of the game. But if Nipan wants to gain a foothold in the Premier League, he must continue to improve his physical fitness and technology.
