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."
