Ex-Gunner excited about potential £42m Arsenal summer signing!

Mikel Arteta’s potential acquisition of Ricardo Calafiori has been hailed by former Gunners defender Bacary Sagna.

ARSENAL have been in the headlines alot over the past few weeks – but despite all the rumours and speculation – David Raya is the only player to make the move to the Emirates after he completed his permanent move to London.

However – there has been alot of transfer speculation about the potential signing of Calafiori from Bologna – a player that is attracting all sorts of clubs after his impressive performances for the Italian side last season.

Calafiori made 33 appearances for Bologna last season as they qualified for the Champions League. He impressed for the Serie A side and took that form into Euro 2024, where he was excellent for Italy during the group phase. Luciano Spalletti missed him when he was suspended for the Round of 16 defeat against Switzerland.

The potential deal has hit a few snags – but amid all the speculation and rumours – Sagna has praised the Gunners chase for Calafiori – He told Paddy Power: “Riccardo Calafiori is very good – I’ve followed him a lot in Serie A this season.

“I’ve seen a lot of Bologna games, and he’s one of the reasons they were able to qualify for the Champions League.

“He’s calm and composed on the ball – he can break lines by committing and help the side out offensively.  He’d be a fantastic player for Arsenal – any club he would join, he would be a fantastic addition.”

ARSENAL are taking their time in getting a deal for Calafiori all wrapped up because they want to make sure that he is the right fit for the club – but he would be a very useful signing for the club.
