Former Arsenal Defender, William Gallas has endorsed manager Mikel Arteta’s decision to sign Riccardo Calafiori from Bologna.

Gallas believes the Italian defender would be a good signing for the Premier League North London club.

Calafiori is set to join Arteta’s side imminently after a breakthrough in negotiations was made earlier this week.

The 22-year-old is set to undergo a medical with the Gunners.

“My friend played in Italy for several years and watches Serie A every week – he played for Inter Milan and Lazio, he was a great player, but I’m not going to say who – and he told me that Ricardo Calafiori is really, really good,” Gallas told Gambling Zone.

“He’s young. He has good quality, and he can play as a centre-back or as a left-back. I think he would be a good signing for Arsenal because the club doesn’t really have a left-back at the moment. There are doubts about that position.”
