Mikel Arteta could ‘need to convince’ the Arsenal hierarchy to green light a deal for Bologna centre-back Riccardo Calafiori this summer, according to reports.
Recent reports have claimed that their top target to improve their defence is Calafiori – who has impressed at Euro 2024 for Italy – after helping Bologna to qualify for the Champions League last term. “The 22-year-old is left-footed and can play at left-back or centre-back and can operate as an inverted full-back — a position Arteta has embraced in his formation in recent seasons.
‘There is also the issue of Calafiori’s history of serious knee problems. It remains to be seen whether Arteta’s belief in the player will overcome any possible fitness concerns.’Arsenal are expecting to seal the signing of Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna in the next 24-48 hours, according to reports.Riccardo Calafiori’s potential transfer from Serie A side Bologna to Arsenal has been labelled a “disaster” by Italian sporting director Walter Sabatini.
