Arsenal star Calafiori nominated for Premier League Player of the Month

The versatile Italian is one of the eight names on the restricted list of the price, alongside Erling Haaland, Jack Grenish and Hugo Ekitike.

Calafiori has been in good shape this season for the Gunners.

Calafiori signed for Arsenal de Bologna last summer, joining the giants of the Premier League in an agreement of a value of up to 50 million euros, including the additional modules.

The Italian had a first mixed first season in the English capital, from the top of his wonder during the 2-2 draw of the Gunners against Manchester City at the Etihad stadium, at the bottom of his knee and the muscular injuries which saw him miss about half of the season.

The absence of a calafiori allowed the dramatic rise of the English starlet Myles Lewis-Skelly, but with the Italian return to full form this season, the 23-year-old has so far moved his 18-year-old teammate in the XI of Arteta’s departure.
