Defender Riccardo Calafiori is set to undergo his medical with Arsenal as his transfer from Bologna nears completion.
The Gunners plan for the 22-year-old Italy international to join their squad for the pre-season tour of the United States.
Arsenal are currently in Los Angeles for Wednesday’s match against Bournemouth and will face Manchester United on Saturday.
They will then travel to Philadelphia to play Liverpool on 31 July.
Calafiori scored two goals and registered five assists in 30 Serie A appearances last season, contributing to Bologna’s fifth-place finish and securing a spot in next season’s Champions League.
He started in all three of Italy’s group-stage games at Euro 2024 before they were eliminated by Switzerland in the last 16.
A graduate of Roma’s academy, Calafiori joined Swiss side Basel in 2022 before moving to Bologna for £3.3m the following season.
