Agent admits Arsenal, Celtic wanted new AIK signing Niclas Eliasson

Arsenal have been tracking Sweden U17 starlet Niclas Eliasson.

Eliasson has enjoyed a wonderful U17 World Cup and it's been confirmed he's left Falkenberg FF for AIK.

The teen's agent, Anders Karlsson, told Fotbolldirekt.se: "He has been impressive for Arsenal and Celtic in trial games, and besides these he also had Ajax, Cologne and Anderlecht interested.

"But AIK simply felt right for him."
