Arsenal Poised to Sign Italian Defender Calafiori.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta stated that the club is working to strengthen specific positions as they near the signing of Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori.

During Arsenal's tour in Los Angeles, Mikel Arteta told reporters there was "no update" on the deal for 22-year-old Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori, valued at around £34 million. 

However, sources indicate that talks are progressing well and are likely to conclude positively. 

Arsenal is also aiming to strengthen their central midfield as they strive to improve on their recent second-place finishes behind Manchester City.
