The Gunners have reportedly reached an agreement with the Italian side for Calafiori and will hope to utilise his skill as a versatile player in the upcoming campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Tomiyasu followed a similar journey in 2021, leaving Bologna to join the Emirates after impressing in Serie A. Neither defender will join Arsenal on their US tour, with new prospect\u00a0Calafiori expected to join Bologna\u00a0in Valles for a number of pre-season friendlies.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu will miss out on the club\u2019s pre-season tour in the United States and will instead receive treatment for a knee injury, according to reports.
