Euro giants haven’t given up hope of signing in-form Arsenal star

Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior reportedly remains a priority for AC Milan ahead of the summer transfer window after they showed an interest in him in January.

This is according to Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited and translated by Sport Witness, who state that Kiwior remains firmly in Milan’s sights for the summer.

The Poland international impressed during a previous spell in Serie A with Spezia, and although he didn’t play straight away at Arsenal, he’s now more of a regular and has impressed with his recent performances for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Kiwior joined as more of a centre-back, but he’s now looking very solid at left-back for the Gunners, and it remains to be seen if they’ll be prepared to let him go after his impressive run in their first-team.

Still, it makes sense that someone like Milan might be interested, especially if they feel they can tempt the 24-year-old with more guaranteed playing time.

Kiwior transfer remains a priority for AC Milan

Kiwior is surely now at the stage of his career where he’ll want to be sure of his role for his club, and even if he’s done well for Arsenal recently, the presence of Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu, as well as Jurrien Timber as he nears a return from injury, could mean he’s going to lose his place in the not-too-distant future.

It may also be that Kiwior could be tempted to return to Italy after doing well with Spezia in the past, but AFC fans will surely hope he can be persuaded to stay at the Emirates Stadium, whether that’s as a starter or as a useful, versatile squad player.

Arsenal might also need to sell before they can buy this summer, and it might be that that area of their squad will be considered one where they can afford to lose one or two players.
