Calafiori, who has impressed in Serie A, seems set for a Premier League switch. Romano hinted at this with a teasing hourglass emoji on his X page.


Arsenal fans are eager for the 22-year-old to join Mikel Arteta’s team for pre-season.

Calafiori’s addition would bolster Arsenal’s squad and increase their chances of winning the title next season. He is expected to be an upgrade over current players like Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior and provide cover for William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes in case of injuries or suspensions.

Arsenal has struggled with defensive depth in the past, but Calafiori’s arrival, along with Jurrien Timber’s return from injury, should bolster their defense significantly.
