The joke Edu Gaspar made with journalist about Riccardo Calafiori at Arsenal’s training ground recently
Arsenal are now closing in on the signing of Riccardo Calafiori after weeks of negotiations with Bologna.
Having agree✃d personal terms with Arsenal two weeks ago, Calafiori will sign a five-year deal with the Gunners soon.
Arsenal have taken their time in getting off the mark this summer in the market butဣ did so with the addition of youngster Charlie Setford.
However, the main focus has been on Riccardo Calafiori with the Itaܫly international the main target in north London this summer.
The Gunners are now over in the United States for their pre-season tour and Edu Gasparꦡ has now shared a joke about his expected new signing.

What Edu Gaspar recently said about Riccardo Calafiori
A conclusion to the race for the It✅alian’s signature is now coming to an end having had the ‘Here We Go’ from Fabrizio Romano.
Mikel Arteta is wanting Calafiori to join up with 🧸his new Arsenal teammat𝕴es in America – even if he is not ready to play just yet.
The Spaniard feels the pre-season tour would be the perfect opportun🃏ity for Calafiori to bond with the players who he will 🔥be battling for the Premier League title alongside this season.
Over in the Stꦇates, it seems those within the club are no longer keeping much of a🧸 secret over Calafiori’s expected arrival.

According to journalist Nick Callow, the Arsenal sporting director has already been sharing some jokes with the media about the imminent arrival of the centre𒁃-back.
“When I was lucky enough to be at the Arsenal training ground on Monday, I saw Edu a꧋n🌸d I said to him: ‘Where’s Riccardo Calafiori?’ Callow said.
“And he [Edu] said: ‘He’s inside.’ A little joke and he walk𒅌ed off.”
Arsenal adding some serious talent to their defence
Coming out of the 2023/24 campaigꦦn as the Premier League’s strongest defence, Arsenal had no pres🐠sing need to add to their backline.
But they look set to do so with one of the real bright spark꧋s from Euro 2024 with Calafiori picking up from where he left off in Serie A.
What will be interesting to see is what this means for somꦬe of the current left-backs at the Emirates.
There is claims Jakub Kiwior could be set to leave Arseౠnal with interest coming from Serie A.
However, Oleksandr Zinchenko is also at risk🔥 of b🦂eing sold by Arsenal this summer with Calafiori set to sign.
Either way, Arsenal ♔fans will feel the♈y are massively improving their options if either of these two players are to head off over the coming weeks.
