The best player of August has been determined at London's Arsenal football club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to the club's press service, the title was awarded to Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori. He received 52 percent of the votes from those who participated in the poll.
Calafiori has one goal in three Premier League matches. This goal was scored in the first round against Manchester United and was the only goal that brought victory to Arsenal.
In that match, the team won 1-0. The Italian player transferred to Arsenal from Bologna before the start of last season.
However, he has sometimes been unable to fully participate on the field due to injuries. After the first three rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal is in third place in the standings with eight points.
The team defeated Manchester United and Leeds but lost to Liverpool. Based on these results, the club's performance this season is being evaluated positively.
