Arsenal announced the signing of Italy international Riccardo Calafiori from Serie A side Bologna on a long-term contract. "The 22-year-old defender was a member of the Azzurri squad at Euro 2024, after a season full of impressive performances at the heart of Bologna's defence," the Gunners said in a statement on Monday. Riccardo started his career in the youth academy at Roma, where he spent 12 years developing from the youth set-up into the first-team. During his time there, he gained valuable experience on loan at fellow Italian side Genoa during the 2021/22 season. Source: Qatar News Agency
