Arsenal are optimistic of finalising a PS42million deal to sign Riccardo Calafiori this week, LondonWorld understands.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta wants the deal to be completed before Arsenal travel to the United States for their pre-season tour next week.

Jakub Kiwior is the subject of transfer interest from Italian giants Inter as well as Juventus, with Arsenal willing to allow the Poland international depart if they can make a profit on the PS17.5million they paid for him last January.

"We have unbelievable quality in the squad and we showed what we are capable of, especially towards the last part of the season," Odegaard told reporters at Arsenal's Marbella summer training camp.

"We made history. I am really pleased with the squad and we have unbelievable quality, so I am not too worried about that."

"You feel like you are more prepared. There are a lot of young players in the team and I feel like I am one of the older guys and I like that. To have that experience and hopefully use it in the best possible way.

"Getting older you feel more responsible and you feel like you are hitting your peak.

"Hopefully, there is a lot more to come."
