"Calafiori has impressed at Arsenal in his two seasons in north London, but he now seems to have fallen behind Piero Hincapie in the pecking order after some injury problems. It remains to be seen if this could mean the 23-year-old will move this summer, with Arsenal surely likely to be keen to keep the player."
"Chelsea really could have done well to sign Calafiori before Arsenal a couple of years ago, but he'd still surely have a positive impact for Liam Rosenior's side. If Calafiori wants to play centre-back, that's probably ideal, as he'd represent a clear upgrade on unconvincing performers like Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo."
Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori, who has impressed during his two seasons at the club but has fallen behind Piero Hincapie in the pecking order due to injury problems. The 23-year-old Italy international is keen to secure more regular playing time, particularly at centre-back rather than left-back. Chelsea were previously interested in Calafiori before his move to Arsenal. While he would not come cheap as a rival club player yet to reach his peak, he could represent a significant upgrade on Chelsea's current centre-back options like Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo. However, his prospects at left-back are less certain given Chelsea's existing options.
