NOTIZIE SUI TRASFERIMENTI: L’Arsenal è aperto alla possibilità che il difensore vada in prestito a gennaio dopo l’avvicinamento del Napoli… – Dettagli.

Napoli have enquired about Jakub Kiwior’s potential availability and

Arsenal are open the idea of the defender leaving on loan in January.

Kiwior is in his second full season with Arsenal having joined the

north London giants from Serie B outfit Spezia Calcio in January 2023.

The versatile 24-year-old made 30 appearances in all competitions

for the Gunners last term, providing Mikel Arteta with useful cover at both centre-half and left-back.

But first-team minutes have been few and far between for Kiwior this season,

with the defender yet to make a single start in the Premier League,

and there is growing speculation that he could be heading back to Italy this winter.

Juventus were heavily linked with Kiwior across the summer transfer window

and La Gazzetta dello Sport even reported that the out-of-favour

Poland international had said ‘yes’ over a proposed switch to Inter Milan.

According to transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli are the latest

Serie A club to declare their interest in Kiwior, despite head coach

Antonio Conte harbouring some lingering doubts given the player’s peripheral role at the Emirates.

‘Napoli have asked about Kiwior’s situation and now Arsenal

are open to loaning him,’ Di Marzio told Polish outlet Goal.pl.

Napoli because he is not playing for Arsenal.

‘But Napoli will definitely ask and try to loan him.

‘Now is the time for him to go back to Italy because he has to play.’

Kiwior’s current contract with Arsenal, which he signed upon his

arrival from Spezia Calcio, runs through to the summer of 2028.

There had been rumours that Kiwior could leave Arsenal in search

of regular game-time last January but the Pole stayed put,

with his agent pouring cold water on the transfer gossip.

‘Kuba is an Arsenal player,’ Pawel Zimonczyk told

Polish outlet Kanal Sportowy at the time.
