He made several mistakes when he did eventually feature for the Under 18s and was at fault during many of the heavy defeats suffered by Arsenal at that level.
But he is impressing again now and has caught the eye of PSG.
A tall youngster who likes to play the ball out from the back, Kristopher was an unused substitute against Galatasaray in the UEFA Youth League and featured for the Under 21s during pre-season.
He is trying to break into the second-string squad on a permanent basis this season as he seeks to adapt further to the English game.
But Arsenal cannot offer the youth international a route into their side, so he is likely to try his luck across the Channel, possibly at PSG.
