"Arsenal are among a host of top European clubs interested in one of the brightest emerging talents from Norway this week. The north London side have become renowned in recent years for bringing through starlets from their youth ranks, Bukayo Saka being the obvious poster boy. The winger paved the way for the likes of Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly to follow, with 15-year-old Max Dowman the latest to step up into the first-team equation."
"The current Premier League leaders had been interested in signing 16-year-old Norwegian winger Leo Dorsin, according to Tipsbladet. They weren't the only top side eyeing an approach, with the next Lamine Yamal believed to have gone for trials with the Gunners, Manchester City, Barcelona, PSG and Ajax, with all five of the quintet wanting him."
"Those hopes have been dashed, however, as the former Rosenborg prospect has chosen to sign with Danish outfit FC Nordsjaelland. Nordsjaelland are owned by the founders of Right to Dream, an elite academy group with posts in Ghana, Egypt and in the USA, via San Diego FC, who played a key role in the careers of Mohammed Kudus, Mikkel Damsgaard and Simon Adingra, among others."

The club's strong youth focus and Nordic familiarity influenced Dorsin's decision amid widespread top-level interest.
