Riccardo Calafiori made his debut for Arsenal in the Emirates Cup against Olympique Lyonnais, taking the place of Oleksandr Zinchenko as a 64th-minute substitute. He surprised his coach and the fans with his performances, which foreshadowed a good prospect for Arteta's defence next season.
However, it is unclear where the 22-year-old will fit into Mikel Arteta's team. Arsenal boasted the best defence in the Premier League last season, keeping 18 clean sheets in 38 games. Comfortable on the ball and striding out from the back, Calafiori has been tipped as a possible left-back.
