Bologna defender, Riccardo Calafiori, is scheduled to fly to the UK today ahead of his Arsenal medicals.
Calafiori is on the verge of signing for the Gunners after they agreed a €50m (£42.1m) fee for him.
The Italy international, who shone at Euro 2024, will then join Mikel Arteta’s squad for their US pre-season tour.
“Understand Riccardo Calafiori’s travel from Italy to London is being planned for today,” football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, tweeted Friday morning.
“He’s expected to fly for first part of medical tests in London then time to join Arteta and his squad in the US.”
