"Arsenal are looking to the future again as they eye a rising star from abroad - but they face competition from a Premier League rival."
"The teenager has last year broken Odegaard's record as the youngest player in the history of the Eliteserien after making his debut aged just 15 years and 90 days."
"Granaas has since featured regularly for Fredrikstad, who are fifth in the Eliteserien, and scored a late winner against Aalesund last week."
"Fredrikstad sporting director Anders Jensen confirmed there is 'great interest' in the teenager, with clubs like RB Leipzig and Liverpool monitoring his progress."
Arsenal is targeting 16-year-old Eirik Granaas, a midfielder from Fredrikstad, who has impressed in Norway's Eliteserien. Granaas broke Martin Odegaard's record as the youngest player in the league's history. He has drawn attention from several European clubs, including RB Leipzig and Liverpool. Granaas, who admires Odegaard, has been performing well, contributing to Fredrikstad's fifth-place standing in the league. Arsenal's connection with Odegaard may provide an advantage in securing the young talent.
