The 16-year-old is regarded as one of the brightest prospects in Scandinavia and is said to have caught the eye of Gunners scouts when he captained Norway Under-16s against England in February.
Sandberg, who plays for Norwegian outfit Lillestrom SK, has also reportedly been attracting interest from Manchester United.

But The Sun claim Arsenal have seen off the threat of United after agreeing a deal to sign Sandberg.
It is claimed the young centre-back has been offered a scholarship deal that will turn into a professional contract in his 17th birthday.
