From an interview with his sports director at Basel Heiko Vogel: You trained one of the European Championship shooting stars in Calafiori. Was this explosion in performance foreseeable?
Vogel: Ricci came from Italy with a very long history of injuries, so it was difficult to find the right dosage. We often had to slow him down in training because he is very ambitious. We built him up carefully and at some point he managed to play 10 or 20 games in a row. He's a left-footer with very, very good technique, an outstanding heading game and enormous intelligence. As a world-class left-back, he lacks top speed, so I asked him: ‘Ricci, what do you want? The maximum or stay a left-back? He never doubted, he just went for it and was always eager to learn. That's why it's no surprise to me that he's where he is now.

I didn't know he had so many injures. Hopefully White will be fit and we can rotate between Timber, White and him a bit more.

Style and personality wise, he has similarities with Sergio Ramos (who’d be Arteta’s wet dream as a hybrid wide CB in his younger days), who started as a fullback.
Hope he can stay injury free, think he’s an absolute top player.

As me and @db10_therza have discussed previously, he’s a potential unicorn player. That doesn’t mean he’s already perfect and elite, it just means he has the skill set to be extremely unique.
I can’t really put my finger on a player he reminds me of, and I’m usually good at these things.
He’s incredible at going forward and could genuinely just play as a midfielder, but he is built like a brick wall and is scary in the air. It’s usually 1 or the other. His dribbling and close control is that of a smaller more agile player.
It’s like he’s a defensive version of Yaya Toure
just really weird and interesting skill set for someone so big.
What makes him a unicorn is that he could become world class at defending while also being world class at going forward. Players rarely truly have both while also being in the top 1% physically too. Can basically have everything if he keeps improving.

It’s the mentality for me. Bloke stuck it top bins away at City in his first league start for the club ffs. That’s the sign of an absolute top level player.

Whisper it 'Maldini', I'm not saying he's as good, it's just the way he dribbles out of defense with the long flowing locks of hair swaying, pure Aura player

It is blasphemy to compare him already with Maldini.
Maybe with time, but he is still far.

The one thing that surprised me was he lacked speed but Arteta would have known so obviously it's not an issue.
