Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori has arrived in England, poised to undergo a medical examination ahead of his anticipated transfer to Arsenal. The Premier League runners-up have been pursuing the Italian defender for several weeks, navigating challenging negotiations with Bologna before securing an agreement last week.
Arsenal fans have been eagerly awaiting the completion of the Calafiori deal, which gained momentum after Italy’s elimination from Euro 2024. The “powerful” defender expressed his desire to join Arsenal earlier in July, prompting prolonged discussions that ultimately resulted in an agreement between the Serie A club and the North London side.
