Arsenal are set to offer 23-year-old goalkeeper Rune Almenning Jarsteina a trial at Emirates Stadium, according to reports in Norway.

Almenning Jarsteina has been in impressive form for Odd Grenland this season and his displays earned him a call-up to the Norway national side to face Argentina.

The stopper admits that a move to The Gunners would be too good to turn down, but currently he is focused on helping his club avoid relegation.

"They have seen me before and of course I want to go. Without doubt" he told Varden.no.

"Anyway, I have to concentrate on Odd Grenland first, then other offers. Arsenal is a great club and they play fantastic football.

"Of course I would say yes if they offer me a trial when the season here is over."
