TIMESTAMPS:

0:00 Intro

0:15 Very happy to have signed Calafiori. We have been monitoring him for over a year. We identified him as a huge talent who will make us better.

0:55 He is very versatile. He fits in really well with what we want.

1:10 Good business all round. Great to get Riccardo done. It increases the competition in the backline.

1:46 Another great test against Liverpool to come. New manager, a manager I really like. It’s going to be very tough.

2:13 I don’t know Slot personally but I’ve watched his past teams. I’ve heard very good things from players he’s worked with.

2:41 I cannot talk about Smith Rowe at the moment.

2:58 We love to travel around the different cities and understand the culture. We don’t have a lot of time.

3:37 More signings? We have to see the movements in the market. We have looked at what we need and how we can strengthen the team.

4:11 We needed numbers at the back. We were lucky last season that Gabby and Willy played almost every minute. You cannot bet on that at this level.

4:53 It was great speaking to Calafiori and knowing how much he wanted to come to Arsenal. My bags are ready, let me know when I can sign!

5:34 American fans have been great. The atmospheres have been amazing. I heard that it’s going to be really good here as well.

6:12 Important to integrate new players as quickly as possible. It can take time. He’s in a really good place and has great understanding of what we want. He’s so excited.

6:55 Very confident that all players will be available for the first match of the season.

7:24 Calafiori against Liverpool? We will see. He hasn’t really done anything with the team. We don’t want to rush him.

7:57 We don’t expect to do anything like the Rice deal last summer.
