Arsenal have signed Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna for a £42 million transfer fee, the club announced on Monday, ending a month-long chase for his signature.
The 22-year-old defender had an excellent campaign with Bologna to help the club into the Champions League for the first time ever. But he exploded onto the world stage this summer thanks to some fine performances for Italy at Euro 2024, notably delivering the assist for Mattia Zaccagni's dramatic 98th-minute equaliser that knocked Croatia out at the group stage.
