Riccardo Calafiori confirmed that he passed over other clubs to complete his transfer to Arsenal after they presented the ‘best project’ to him.
The Italian defender has joined the Gunners from Bologna in a deal worth up to £42m including add-ons.
The 22-year-old has joined up with his new teammates in Philadelphia, where he could make his Arsenal debut against Liverpool in a pre-season friendly.
The north London outfit were one of several clubs, including Chelsea, chasing Calafiori‘s signature following his impressive performances at Euro 2024, but he explained why he ended up moving to the Emirates Stadium.
