Jakub Kiwior is set to seek a move away from Arsenal during the January transfer window as several clubs have shown interest in the Polish talent.
The 24-year-old has been with Arsenal since January 2023, having been part of a £20m move from Spezia. During his time at the Emirates Stadium, the natural centre-back has often been used as a left-back.
Kiwior has had some impressive moments with Arsenal, especially during the start of this year, but the arrival of Ricciardo Calafiori has reduced the Polish player’s minutes.
The defender has played just seven times for Arteta’s side this season, accumulating 321 minutes of action. This has taken his total appearances to 45, but it is not enough for the versatile defender heading into the January transfer window.
Sources close to CaughtOffside recently reported that AC Milan are considering taking Kiwior on loan, while several other clubs including Napoli, Bologna, Juventus, Villarreal and Marseille have also shown interest in the Gunners star.
With rumors of a departure from the Emirates Stadium, it is now being reported that Kiwior is set to leave north London in January and the Premier League giants may already have a replacement.

Arsenal star Jakub Kiwior could be ready to return to Italy in January
Having started just two games for Arsenal this season against Preston and Bolton in the League Cup, Kiwior is set to leave the Gunners in January, Football Insider reports.
The report indicates that clubs in Italy are ready to offer the 24-year-old a path back to Serie A with Juventus, AC Milan and Inter linked to the Polish international.
It is unclear whether these teams will pursue a loan deal or attempt to acquire Kiwior’s services on a permanent basis. The latter is most likely, as it will allow Italian clubs to see what level the player is at before committing to a long-term deal.
A January exit is best for both the player and the club, although Arsenal will lose a useful asset.
