The Italy legend has his say on the move.
Calafiori is closing in on a move to Arsenal Italy legend Leonardo Bonucci believes Arsenal are signing a player in Riccardo Calafiori who will ‘become a reference point for the national team for the next 15 years’. The Gunners are closing in a move for the 22-year-old defender having identified him as their top defensive target this summer.
‘Calafiori? I’m sorry about his transfer. I would have liked to see him at Juventus,’ Bonucci told Sky Sports Italia. ‘He’s a defender who’s a little different to what we’re used to seeing. He plays, has personality and fits in. Bonucci backing Calafiori shine in London ‘We’re exporting a great player who will be a point of reference for the national team for the next 15 years.’ Arsenal saw off interest from Chelsea to agree personal terms with Calafiori earlier this month.
