Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior may make headlines during January transfer window as several clubs have shown an interest in signing him despite Arsenal’s preference. AC Milan and Napoli both expressed desire to negotiate loan agreements with North London club Arsenal for him.
Jakub Kiwior’s Possible Departure from Arsenal
Mikel Arteta of Arsenal reportedly held discussions with Kiwior, emphasizing his wish for him to remain through January and promising him more playing time in coming weeks. These developments come following reports of Kiwior’s confidence being shaken due to an on-field miscue, complicating Arteta’s decision-making process further.
The interest in Kiwior isn’t limited to the Italian giants; Sevilla has also been linked with the player. However, the Premier League defender’s £45m valuation could deter the Spanish club from pursuing a transfer.
Italian Clubs Lead the Chase for Kiwior
AC Milan and Napoli are currently leading the race to sign Kiwior after holding preliminary discussions with Arsenal about a possible move. Both clubs hope to strengthen their defensive options further with Kiwior’s presence, so see him as an ideal prospect.
Kiwior, however, remains committed to Arsenal as his preferred club should he receive adequate playing time to show his worth. Other European clubs such as Fiorentina, Juventus, Inter Milan Villarreal Olympique Marseille and Atalanta are keeping tabs on him closely should an opportunity present itself; each are keeping watch.
