Arsenal Not Wavering on Their Stance About Kiwior

Jakub Kiwior is likely to stay put at Arsenal in January despite the recurring interest especially from Serie A. The Gunners are adamant about not loaning him out, as most suitors would prefer. They value him €20M, pretty much the amount of the investment they made to sign him from Spezia, as they’d have to replace him properly afterward, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

As for last summer, Bologna and Inter were the most interested sides. The Felsinei inquired about a host of defenders after selling Riccardo Calafiori. They touched base for Mats Hummels, Martin Vitik, and Logan Costa, and made an offer for the Pole, which was insufficient. They ended up signing Nicolò Casale.

Instead, the Nerazzurri wanted a left-footed defender to back up Alessandro Bastoni. However, the price tag of Kiwior was too high in their mind. They eventually acquired Tomas Palacios for €6.5M late in the window.

Milan and Juventus have been occasionally linked to the ex-Spezia man but never moved too seriously. Thiago Motta helped him flourish back in the day. Fiorentina and Napoli made an attempt too. The former are now in a good spot thanks to Piero Comuzzo blossoming. The Azzurri are still keen, as their deputies in the back haven’t been too trustworthy, but only for a loan.

Our Take on Kiwior

He’d be a good fit for Juventus as he’d be able to play on the wing too, but, for whatever reason, they have never been too determined to add him despite the connection with their coach. He’ll likely continue with Arsenal but, if Antonio Conte asks for somebody, Napoli generally get it done.
