Arsenal are said to be gaining ground in their bid to land their prime defensive target this summer.
Arsenal are already said to have agreed a contract with Bologna and Italy star Riccardo Calafiori with negotiations still ongoing between the two clubs. The Gunners are on a mission to improve this summer after falling just short of the Premier League title again last season.
After a summer of big spending last year, Mikel Arteta and Edu know they must balance the books by offloading a number of fringe players this summer, That work is ongoing, but as is the work to bring new players in.
One player who looks likely to arrive is Calafiori, who was one of the few Italy players who impressed at Euro 2024. The left-footed defender also impressed with Bologna last season, and still only 22 years of age, the Italian fits the bill.
