Arsenal coaching staff are delighted with how quickly new signing Havard Nordtveit has settled.

The 17 year-old Norwegian captained Arsenal reserves in their 2-0 defeat of Portsmouth and coach Neil Banfield told arsenal.com: "He's a very mature lad. He's settled in and taken to the lads, and the lads have taken to him. As a central defender he leads by example and I feel he has the qualities that will make him a good captain."
