Arsenal is expected to offload a £25 million player that is desired by multiple clubs in January. Arsenal are purportedly in the process of selling defender

Jakub Kiwior during the forthcoming January transfer window, preferring a permanent transfer over a loan. In the midst of a difficult season, the Arsenal are currently seeking to optimize their defensive lineup, having made a substantial investment in Italian defender Riccardo Calafiori during the summer.

 

Arsenal’s recent performances have prompted concerns, despite their reputation for possessing one of the Premier League’s most formidable defenses. The impending match against Chelsea this weekend is exacerbated by the fact that Mikel Arteta’s team has been without a win in the league for the past three matches. One player now appears to be extraneous to requirements, given the abundance of defensive options available. Despite the fact that injuries have affected the squad,

 

Kiwior, who initially broke into the team last season during an injury crisis, has faced difficulty in securing game time this season. Arsenal’s primary center-back pairing is William Saliba and Gabriel, while versatile defenders such as Ben White, Jurrien Timber, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Oleksandr Zinchenko provide depth in a variety of positions. Calafiori has the ability to play at left-back or centrally, which limits Kiwior’s opportunities.

Arsenal is attempting to sell Kiwior, rather than lease him out, as per reports from Tuttomercatoweb. They have established a price range of €20-25 million, which is approximately the amount they paid Spezia to bring him to North

London.

 

According to journalist Alfredo Pedullà, Napoli, which is under the management of Antonio Conte, has been suggested as a potential destination, and Inter Milan purportedly contemplated a transfer last summer.The recent criticism of Kiwior, which was precipitated by a costly error in Arsenal’s loss to Bournemouth, has exacerbated speculation regarding his future at the club. The Polish international was retained by

 

Arsenal in January with the expectation of increased game time. However, both parties may now view a transfer as the optimal solution, enabling Arsenal to refine their defensive rotation and Kiwior to pursue more consistent minutes.

 

The market value of Kiwior is currently £25 million, as per Transfermarkt. The January transfer window presents Arsenal with an opportunity to realign their defensive options and give Kiwior a fresh start as they prepare for a high-stakes Champions League match against Inter Milan tonight.
