Speaking on talkSPORT European football expert Lars Sivertsen said Riccardo Calafiori is a very confident defender he used to play as a left-back when he was younger.
I think the memory most people will have of him this summer at Euro 2024 is when he was striding forth with the ball for Italy when they got a last minute draw against Croatia.
That quite indicative of what he like. He quite a confident guy he used to play at left-back so is confident moving the ball forward out of defence. He also a good defender.
You can probably use him at left-back if you want to. It a really interesting addition to Arsenal. He good enough to play for the first-team and he gives them an option for two different positions.
Last week Mikel Arteta mentioned there was no update on a deal for Bologna 22-year-old defender who is valued at about £34 million.
However top sources indicate that talks over Calafiori move to the Emirates are progressing well and are expected to conclude positively.
