Ben White praises new Arsenal signing: "He's Raising the Bar in Training!"

Ben White, one of Arsenal’s most consistent defenders, has given high praise to Riccardo Calafiori, the club’s latest defensive addition.

Since signing from Bologna, Calafiori has been making waves in training, impressing both teammates and coaches alike.

In a recent interview, White couldn’t hold back his admiration for the Italian defender, who joined Arsenal for £42 million ($55m).

According to White, Calafiori has seamlessly fit into the squad and is already pushing the team to new heights in training. “He’s amazing. He’s fit right in and is doing well. He’s strong, big, aggressive, and a very front-foot defender,” White said.

Calafiori’s impact in training

White emphasized how Calafiori’s presence is elevating the competition within the team, which can only be good news for the Gunners as they aim to challenge for the title this season.

With Calafiori’s aggressive style and ability to bring something different to the backline, Arsenal’s defence looks set to become even more formidable.

As Arsenal prepares to face Aston Villa, there’s a possibility that Calafiori could make his debut. With Oleksandr Zinchenko’s struggles in big away games, manager Mikel Arteta might opt for Calafiori or Jurrien Timber to start on the left.

Arsenal fans will be eager to see if Calafiori can transfer his impressive training form to the pitch, potentially making a big impact in the upcoming match.
