Arsenal remain keen on Swedish youngsters Kristoffer Olsson and Robert Mirosavic after the pair completed second trials with the club.
The duo were invited to Arsenal in November, where they played in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Charlton Athletic. Olsson scored while Mirosavic also impressed in a 6-0 win. Liam Brady promised to contact both in the New Year to take a second look.
Olsson was initially the only one called back earlier this month, but Mirosavic then arrived shortly after.
Kristoffer, who plays for IFK Norrköpings, played for the Under 16′s against Crystal Palace in between watching the first-team in action against Wolves and Barcelona. The 15-year-old left a thoroughly good impression and was told by Brady he would like him back for the Ferrolli Cup at the end of the season.
Mirosavic also left on very good terms. He attracted attention after bagging 49 goals and 24 assists from just 45 games for Helsingborgs IF’s youth team. He is a currently Swedish Under 16 international and has been offered a youth contract by Helsingborgs, as he has turned 16.
However, Robert is holding out for an offer from Arsenal. He told the Swedish press after arriving back in his homeland he expects a firm answer on whether he will be signed shortly.
