Jorginho ‘has recommended’ to Arteta that Arsenal should sign £40M star!

Jorginho has privately recommended to Mikel Arteta that Arsenal should sign Italy team-mate Riccardo Calafiori this summer, according to Football Transfers.

The transfer window will give Mikel Arteta the chance to keep on adding to his squad over the next few months and start to add some more depth to the squad, along with a bit more quality in key areas of the pitch.

A new defender, midfielder, striker and possibly a stopper will need to get signed this summer transfer window – and with the backing of the board – ARSENAL have been linked with some big time players already over the past few weeks.

Calafiori is considered as one of the best young defensive prospects in European football right now, and he might become an important player for Arsenal in the long run. The Italian international may make a formidable partnership with William Saliba in the Arsenal defensive. He is flexible enough to play left back as well.

Now It’s claimed that Jorginho has told Arteta to sign the £40million-rated defender, who shone for Bologna as they booked their place in the Champions League next season

Amid all the speculation former Gunners star Emmanuel Petit has opened up and claimed that Calafiori could be a very good signing for the Gunners – and that a move to Arsenal would be perfect for the defender. As part of bet365’s Euro 2024 coverage, he said: “I have loved watching Riccardo Calafiori at Euro 2024, against Croatia he was so determined, I like him a lot. He is powerful, he has pace, he’s very aggressive, he’s young and you could see that mentally this guy is strong as well.

“When I was watching him I was thinking that this guy could be a good addition for English clubs – and Arsenal would be very good for him.

“Arsenal need someone who is versatile, he can play as a central defender but he can play in other positions too. He’s got pace, he’s intelligent with the ball and doesn’t make a lot of mistakes on the pitch. He’s very focused and good tactically too.

“He’s good technically as well and on top of it he’s got pace, energy and metal.

“He would fit in perfectly at ARSENAL but with Chelsea too. Manchester United as well. I’m pretty sure that Premier League clubs will try to sign him and that might stop him from joining Juventus.”
