The London Evening Standard says Arsenal are in contact with RBK and ready to offer £10m for Nypan.
The presence of Gunners and Norway captain Martin Odegaard is believed to be a factor in Arsenal's favour in convincing Nypan.
Manager Mikel Arteta's willingness to back youngsters like Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly further strengthens Arsenal's hand.
