Fabrizio Romano says £42m player is ‘really excited’ to sign for Arsenal and is waiting for the move
Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on one of Arsenal’s key targets in this summer’s transfer window.
The Gunners are yet to stamp their authority in the market. They have turned David Raya’s loan✃ into a permanent deal, but nothing else has hap🌌pened with respect to incomings.
That is expected to change in the coming weeks. Arsenal are really pushing to get a few new names through the door, and 𒈔they seem close to completing one deal.
A really talented player is said to be ‘waiting’ for Arsenal to sign him this summer. Romano says he🍌 is ‘really excited’ about a ꧟move to the Emirates.
What Riccardo Calafiori thinks about Arsenal’s project under Mikel Arteta
Mikel Arteta has transformed Arsenal.
The Gun🔯ners were in a mess when the Spaniard took cha👍rge of the club in 2019, but he has turned them into serious title contenders now.
After finishing in second place two seasons in a row, Arteta wants to get over that final hurdle, and he needs a fe🐓w top-quality additions to achieve that objective.
Riccardo Calafiori is a key target for Arsenal, and the Gunners have been pushing to sign him since Italy’s elimination from Euro 2024.
Arteta has privately spoken to Calafiori 🌱about Arsenal’s project and he seems to have convinಌced the Bologna defender to make the move to the Emirates.
Romano has revealed that Calafiori believes Arsenal have ‘one of the best projects in the🌟 world’ right no🥂w, and he’s now desperate to complete the switch to North London.
However, ⛦Arsenal and Bologna are yet to reach an agreement over the deal, with the Italian club demanding £42 million (€50m) to sell him, Romano revealed on .
Speaking to , the journalist added: “Calafior꧅i is really excited about this possibility to work under Mikel Arteta, to try and experience the Premier League.
“He believes that Arsenal is probably one of t♍he best projects in the world, with many ambitious and talented players.
“So Calafiori is really waiting for Arsen𒊎al now, it depends on Bologna, but the negotiations are ongoing.”
Calafiori’s arrival could push one player out of Arsenal
Calafiori would be a fantastic signing for Arsenal.
The Italian can play in the heaꦓrt of the defence as well as🔴 at left-back, and his profile fits Arteta’s system perfectly. He could prove to be a sensational addition if the move does go through.
However, Calafiori is very similar to one current Arsenal player – Jakub Kiwior.
The Pole, like the Bologna star, can play in central defence as well as at left-back, and most of his characteristics are nearly identical to that of Calaf🍷iori.
That’s why reports have claimed that Arsenal could sell Kiwior if Calafiori arrives, which would be a shame as the🌠 former is a talented player.
However, it makes no sen🍰se to have both of them in the squad.
