An emerging talent, he has been a rotation option this season (57.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.74 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Calafiori.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 45). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 85, top 24% of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 24 Calafiori is in his prime years, and a market index of 101.5 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Calafiori missed 5 games through injury (injury, bruise on the knee, yellow cards) out of roughly 38 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Arsenal finished 1st of 20 · a title-challenging side
2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).
Watch points
- Game time. Only 57.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 84.6, Calafiori carries the 15th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League (top 24%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.74 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
