Chelsea's interest in Riccardo Calafiori is genuine, but Arsenal prefers to keep him and he favors a return to Italy.
I don't drive, but I get around with a driver. I prefer not to drive here. I don't have a car, but I can drive. I don't like how they drive here. They follow the rules too much and are a bit slow. Sometimes you see these big traffic jams for no reason.
Calafiori has been crucial this season for Arsenal Comfortable operating at left-back or as part of a back three, the 23-year-old offers tactical versatility, composure in possession and progressive passing from deep, traits highly valued in Arteta's system. When fit, Calafiori has slotted seamlessly into Arsenal's defensive framework. His ability to invert into midfield during build-up phases has mirrored the modern full-back role Arteta demands, while his defensive positioning and anticipation have strengthened the back line in high-pressure fixtures.
