Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori has expressed his desire to play every Premier League game for the Gunners.
Recall that the Italian international netted the winning goal against Wolves on Saturday.
Speaking with the club’s website, Calafiori stated that injury has prevented him from playing regularly at Arsenal.
“Of course, I would have liked to play every game, to be fit for all the games,” said Calafiori.
“But, to be honest, most of the injuries that I had, I couldn’t control because I was like hit on the knee. I just had to keep on going. I hope, and I think, I am going to be fit until the end of the season to help the team.

“I was pretty emotional (against Wolves) and it meant a lot for me, but also for the team. I was so happy to give the team the victory, the three points. It was a huge win.”
He also said of his position with the Gunners: “It (left-back) was my position for all my career,” he said. “Only last season I played as a centre-back, but I can still do this position.
“The way we play with the left-back, the right-back at Arsenal is completely different from the classic position.
“It is really good for my skills, my qualities and I want to stay fit for the team, to help the team. I think in this new era of football, the key is to be open and be able to play different positions. It’s a quality, I think.”
