TYSON FIORI

Defender hails Arsenal prize fighters as they leave another tough opponent on canvas

What Calafiori is doing on the pitch, however, is unlike anything that most have seen from a left-back.

Like a footballer’s version of whack-a-mole, the 23-year-old is just so unpredictable in his positioning, popping up in almost entirely random positions on the field.

It is not exclusive to the left flank, either. He can be found drifting centrally and even, at times, into the right half spaces. The Italy defender admits this is not necessarily something that he enjoys doing, but instead comes from an instruction or what his teammates are needing from him.
