Arsenal star man Martin Odegaard reveals he is excited about Brand New Gunners signing!

Martin Odegaard was full of praise for Arsenal latest summer signing Riccardo Calafiori after the Italian’s first training session.

The Italian defender signed from Bologna on Monday, penning a five-year deal with ARSENAL after months of speculation and rumours about his future after an impressive season with the Italian side.

Mikel Arteta was desperate to add a bit more depth to the side before the end of the transfer window and Calafiori was seen as the ideal player to come in and add some much needed depth to the back-line.

He has been at the club for a few days now and star man Odegaard has opened up and revealed just how impressed he has been by the Italian – and claims that he will give the club alot in the future – Odegaard said: “Everyone saw it straightaway in training, he’s a top player.

“He’s a top defender, he has this presence on the pitch. I’m sure he’s going to give us a lot & I’m looking forward to seeing more from him.”

Mikel Arteta recently revealed he was unsure he’d be able to lure Riccardo Calafiori to the Emirates – The Spaniard said of the newest Gunners star: “I spoke to him one or two times and I knew the other things [teams being interested].

“I wasn’t really sure if we could do it or not, but he was adamant. ‘Let me know when you’re ready, my bags are ready and I just want to come to Arsenal’.

“Those were his words and when you have that feeling, someone with that willingness to join us and make us better and that determination, it’s something really powerful and as a club, we should be really proud of that.”

He is simply a great signing by Arsenal
