Riccardo Calafiori has opened up on the pitch from Mikel Arteta which convinced him to join Arsenal but revealed it took him some time to adapt to the Spaniard's plans.
The Italy defender joined the Gunners last summer in a £42m move from Bologna and, although his debut season has been interrupted by injuries, has generally impressed in his 16 appearances for the club.
Upon his arrival in North London last summer, the 22-year-old revealed that he had joined Arsenal to play under Arteta.
Now that he has had the chance to work under the Spaniard for six months, Calafiori's admiration is undimmed but admits that he didn't find life easy at first.
