Arsenal are close to signing Swedish Under 16 talent Kristoffer Olsson, according to IFK Norrkopping’s sporting director.
The midfielder has reportedly impressed Arsene Wenger during a number of try-outs with the team, with a permanent move looking likely with the youngster wanting to join the Gunners.
Norrkopping sporting director Tony Martinsson told Fotbolldirekt: “Sure, it’s good money for the club. We would prefer that our players stay in Norrkopping and grow to be first-team players.
“But in this case Kristoffer wants a move, and we will make that happen.
“A contract could take days, it could take weeks. It could take longer. We will keep this to ourselves until it’s done.”
