The Italy international joined the Gunners from Serie A side Bologna back in July. He was on several clubs’ shortlists, but when Arsenal came in for him, Calafiori only wanted to become a Gunner.
Arsenal fans and Mikel Arteta were delighted to have Calafiori. Everyone saw what he was capable of at the Euros and his potential is absolutely massive.
The 22-year-old was left on the bench in the first Premier League game of the season and was then only used as a substitute in the next two fixtures.
Calafiori missed the fourth game of the campaign, which was against Tottenham, due to a calf injury, but he got his first-ever start in the following clash at Manchester City.
