Riccardo Calafiori Completes Medical in London, Set to Join Arsenal on US Tour.

Riccardo Calafiori has successfully undergone his medical examination at the Sobha Realty Centre in London. The thorough assessment ensures that he is fit and ready to don the red and white jersey for the upcoming season. Arsenal’s medical team, led by Dr. Gary O’Driscoll, gave the green light for the transfer to proceed.

With medical formalities completed, Calafiori is now preparing to jet off to the United States. Accompanied by his agents, he will join the Arsenal squad on their pre-season tour.

The formal contract signing is scheduled to take place in the United States, as planned by the club. Calafiori’s commitment to Arsenal extends until June 2029, signaling the club’s confidence in his abilities. Manager Mikel Arteta has expressed excitement about integrating the young Italian into the squad, praising his versatility and defensive prowess.

Calafiori’s arrival could lead to further adjustments in Arsenal’s defensive lineup. Polish left-back Jakub Kiwior, who has been linked with a move to Inter Milan, may find his future uncertain. The Gunners already have left-sided options in Jurrien Timber, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and promising talent Myles Lewis-Skelly. Arteta will need to make strategic decisions to balance the squad.
