Mikel Arteta is pushing hard to sign Riccardo Calafiori for Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with the Bologna centre-back and are widely considered the favourites to nab him over numerous other clubs.
Interest in the 22-year-old grew over the past month following his impressive performances for Italy in the group stage of Euro 2024.
Arteta has long been a fan of Calafiori and it is thought the Arsenal manager would deploy him as an inverted full-back in his lineup.
