Arsenal star insists he is enjoying the preferred role Arteta has picked for him
Riccardo Calafiori joined Arsenal following an outstanding season playing as a central defender for Bologna, a role he also excelled in for the Italy national team during Euro 2024. His impressive performances in the tournament caught the attention of Arsenal, who moved decisively to secure his signature in the last transfer window.
Calafiori arrived at the Emirates as one of the most highly regarded left-footed centre-backs in Europe, a player capable of adding balance and versatility to Arsenal’s defence. However, since his arrival, he has primarily been deployed as a left-back, a position he has embraced with enthusiasm despite being more accustomed to playing centrally.
The unshakeable partnership of Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba at the heart of Arsenal’s defence has made it difficult for Calafiori to claim a spot in the middle. Nevertheless, the Italian has adjusted to his new role with professionalism and determination, earning admiration from fans and coaches alike.
Arsenal star insists he is enjoying the preferred role Arteta has picked for him
Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has expressed his satisfaction with the role that manager Mikel Arteta has assigned to him in the team. The Ghanaian international, who joined the Gunners in a big-money move from Atletico Madrid last summer, has been deployed in a more advanced position in recent matches.
Speaking to reporters, Partey said, “I am really enjoying the role that the manager has picked for me. I feel comfortable playing further up the pitch and contributing to the team’s attacking play. It allows me to showcase my passing range and creativity, as well as my defensive qualities.”
Partey’s performances in his new role have been impressive, with the 28-year-old providing assists and creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. Arteta has praised the midfielder for his adaptability and versatility, and it seems that Partey is relishing the challenge of playing in a different position.
With Arsenal aiming to secure a European spot in the Premier League this season, Partey’s form will be crucial in the team’s push for success. Fans will be hoping that he can continue to excel in his preferred role and help the Gunners achieve their objectives.
