EPL_Who is Riccardo Calafiori
Speaking on his Playback video, Romano stated that Arteta is seriously pushing for Calafiori's signing ahead of a summer move. He said:
"Arsenal are really attacking the situation for Riccardo Calafiori. After interest was confirmed last week, the same also for Chelsea, Arsenal have presented their project to Calafiori and his agents. There is a proposal in terms of the players' side on the table from Arsenal - they are very serious for Calafiori, and it is a long-term proposal.
"Why are Arsenal so serious? Because there is also Mikel Arteta. The manager is pushing for this possibility. Arteta wants Calafiori. Arteta has approved Calafiori as one of the three players they have in the shortlist.
"There is still no formal proposal to Bologna from Arsenal, it's just a negotiation at the moment on the players' side. All we can see is that Arsenal feel Calafiori is open to joining them this summer. So the player is ready to give green light to Arsenal as well as he did for Juventus."
