Decision time looms as Mikel Arteta considers major squad changes amid mounting injury frustrationsโAC Milan circling.
Arsenal are on the verge of deciding Riccardo Calafiori’s future just a year after his ยฃ42 million arrival, according to insider Mick Brown. The Italian defender has missed 28 games since joining due to recurring knee and muscle injuries. With interest from Serie A clubs, notably AC Milan, and the rise of youngster Miles Lewis-Skelly pushing Calafiori down the pecking order, the Gunners may opt to sell if a similar fee is offered.
Arsenal are undergoing a squad overhaul this summerโOleksandr Zinchenko, Nuno Tavares, and Albert Sambi Lokonga are also expected to depart. However, concerns about squad depth mean Arteta must balance financial recovery with maintaining quality.
A critical meeting is expected soon to determine whether to cash in or keep faith in the injury-plagued 22-year-old.
