Arsenal star outlines role he played in Riccardo Calafiori transfer

Jorginho helped convince Riccardo Calafiori to join Arsenal while the pair were at Euro 2024 together with Italy, the midfielder has revealed.

The duo were both called up to Luciano Spalletti’s squad for the tournament in Germany, playing in all three of their group games before Jorginho was benched and Calafiori suspended for the round-of-16 loss to Switzerland.

The latter was one of the few Italian players able to leave the tournament with their pride intact after a desperately disappointing showing for the Azzurri.
