Arsenal are hopeful of tying up the signing of Riccardo Calafiori in the next few days with the player formalling telling Bologna he wants to make the move and with one hurdle now left for the Gunners to clear, while a second move is also expected to go through imminently.
The Gunners have a very clear strategy when it comes to the transfer market, looking to bring in emerging talent in the early phases of their career who can blossom and bloom under Mikel Arteta’s management and one day either earn the club a profit or at very least give the best years of their career to Arsenal. That is a process that has evidentally worked well with the north London side finishing as Premier League runners-up in each of the last two seasons and pushing Manchester City ever-closer to wrestling away their crown.
