Riccardo Calafiori

Riccardo Calafiori is an Italian defender whose elegant ball-playing ability and tactical intelligence have made him one of the most sought-after young centre-backs in European football. After a breakout season at Bologna that helped the club qualify for the Champions League, Calafiori impressed at Euro 2024 with Italy before securing a move to Arsenal. His composure in possession, progressive passing, and versatility to play at both centre-back and left-back make him a modern defender of the highest calibre.
