He's a solid marauding left-back who starred for Italy in the just concluded Euros– even scoring a goal.
Again Chelsea was interested in him,as if Arsenal is now their employee, scouting on their behalf.
Like I tell people now, Arsenal is no longer a selling club!
It's a whole new world in the Arsenal fold, that allows for sweet peace.
About 2 weeks back, we sent the player,Mika Biereth,to join Sturm Graz– not on loan, but a permanent deal. You see, many reading this are wondering who this player is. ☺️
If it was the Arsenal of old, we would just wake up one morning to hear that Saka is about to join Barcelona. People's heart will almost jump out of their mouths. You need to know the large number of fans Arsenal "donated" to other clubs as the fans couldn't bear hearing of the sales of Arsenal’s best players.
That's what I meant by saying, it isn't a selling club anymore– meaning not selling our better players in the group.

Well it's done now. Calafiori now an Arsenal player. It was never in doubt really.
If you know Arsenal,you can attest to the fact that when Arsenal finds a player who has fallen in love with them, they will normally not rush, they would take their time with proceedings.
Now it must be emphasised he signed for Arsenal in the midst of geniune interest from huge clubs– PSG, Chelsea, Leverkusen and Juventus. Those clubs are not push-overs. Arteta's reign is bringing back that old Arsenal allure.
So straightway he flies to the US to join the boys in camp for the US tour.
If getting defenders from Italy is the now a habit, then long may it continue please.
Welcome Calafiori.
any questions @blanchy?
THIS IS ARSENAL!
Cheers
