Arsenal Signs Riccardo Calafiori for £42 Million

Arsenal's new signing, Riccardo Calafiori, has joined the team from Bologna for £42 million but was not included in the squad for the pre-season friendly against Liverpool due to a tight turnaround and a desire to avoid injuries. Despite this, pundits and former players like Lorenzo Amoruso and Ian Wright believe Calafiori has the qualities to excel in the Premier League, given his strong performances last season. Jorginho played a key role in persuading Calafiori to join Arsenal instead of other interested clubs. Calafiori's versatility allows him to play both center-back and left-back, adding depth to Arsenal's defensive options. Fans and pundits alike have high expectations for Calafiori, seeing him as a potential future star for the club.
