Calafiori & Zirkzee: David Ornstein's transfer updates

Man United are working to finalise a deal for Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee. His performances in Italy have earned him a spot in the Netherlands squad for the Euros. Arsenal have also targeted Riccardo Calafiori, could he fit in with the other defenders at the club?

So, is Zirkzee an upgrade on United’s existing forward options and could Calafiori slot into Arteta's Arsenal?

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by The Athletic's David Ornstein and Carl Anka to discuss.
