The club’s recent statement lauded Calafiori, 22, for his impressive performances in Serie A and his contribution to Italy’s Euro 2024 campaign. Mikel Arteta, Arsenal’s manager, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “Riccardo is a big personality and character, with specific skills which will make us stronger as we push to win major trophies.”

Now, Arsenal’s attention turns to Mikel Merino, a key figure in Spain’s Euro 2024 victory. The 28-year-old, who previously had a brief stint in the Premier League with Newcastle United, is set to return to England on a four-year contract until 2028. Merino’s journey from the Magpies to a star player in La Liga exemplifies his growth, and his potential return to the Premier League is generating buzz among fans.

As Arsenal continues to bolster its squad, the excitement builds for their upcoming pre-season match against Liverpool at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
