Club Statement:
Norwegian rising star Sverre Nypan has joined the club on a season-long loan.
The highly-rated teenage midfielder arrives on Teesside just one month after being snapped up from Rosenborg by Manchester City for a reported £12.5m fee.
The 18-year-old signed a five-year contract with the Premier League giants and was recently named one of the best players in the world for his age by a British newspaper.
A Norwegian youth international at all levels, Sverre started his career with Rosenborg, and scored 14 goals in 70 appearances for the club.
Sverre met Boro fans for the first time at the Riverside on Monday when he signed autographs at the club’s annual open training session.
He is the fifth signing of the summer, following Alfie Jones, Callum Brittain, Abdoulaye Kante and Sontje Hansen to the Boro.
