It is expected that Calafiori will be in the starting lineup when Arsenal faces Paris Saint-Germain in the upcoming Champions League match.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has praised defender Riccardo Calafiori.AdvertisementAdvertisementArteta stated on the defender: “How willing he is. When I spoke to him on the phone for the very first time he wanted to come here. He understood what we wanted.
“And he felt like he was going to be a perfect fit and he is. He landed with the biggest smile on his face and he has got this energy and aura around him that is very likable.
“He is a fighter and plays the way we want to play and he will do anything for the team so when you have those qualities a lot of things have to be wrong not to succeed.
