Arsenal are targeting Norwegian midfielder Per Ciljan Skjelbred according to reports in the Telegraph today.

The 20 year old Norwegian won a football talent competition, as a youth, on Norwegian television whose prize saw him train with the Liverpool first team.

He since signed for Rosenborg and has made over 40 appearances for the Norwegian outfit in the last few years. He has also gotten a full international cap after being called up to the Norwegian first team because of his impressive domestic performances.

It is thought tthat either Arsenal or Liverpool or both will put in a bid of up to £5 million for the midfielder once the English transfer window reopens this Summer.
