Calafiori impressed against Bolton

Calafiori joined Arsenal in a £42million transfer from Bologna this summer.

The defender has since made five appearances for Mikel Arteta‘s side.

He scored his first Premier League goal against Manchester City last weekend with a stunning strike.

After receiving the ball from Gabriel Martinelli just outside the box, he curled his shot into the top-right corner with his right foot.

The Gunners were eventually held to a 2-2 draw after going down to 10 men at half-time.
