Arsenal recently signed Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna and former Liverpool icon and former England star John Barnes had a lot of praise for the 22-year-old.
The Gunners were in the market for a left-footed defender, and Calafiror ticks all the boxes Mikel Arteta’s side was looking for.
Arsenal have been linked with several defenders over the last couple of transfer windows, with Marc Guehi a name that was reported.
Barnes believes the Gunners signing Calafiori is a better option than Guehi.
Barnes said: “I thought he (Riccardo Calafiori) was very good at the Euros. He won’t cost a lot of money. Left-footed. It’s always good to have left-footed centre-backs. He’s good on the ball. He can push forward. Good in possession. Quick. Good recovery.”
“I think he’d be a great signing for anyone. Absolutely. He can play left back and I think that Arsenal have really looked in that position and played a few people there but I don’t think they necessarily got someone there that’s reliable.I think that will be a great signing.”
“And now they could play three centre backs. So he’s very versatile.”
“So, I think that that would be probably even a better signing than Marc Guehi if you understand what I mean?”’
