Arsenal FC professional Charles Watts has mentioned the way forward for Jakub Kiwior this summer time as he admits he may see him leaving if one other defender is available in within the type of Riccardo Calafiori.
Talking solely to CaughtOffside for his newest Each day Briefing column, Watts defined that though he may see Kiwior leaving attributable to how related he’s to Calafiori as a participant and the truth that he has curiosity from each AC Milan and Juventus, he thinks it’s laughable that some experiences have instructed the Poland worldwide might be offered for one thing within the area of simply £12.3m.
Kiwior has executed nicely at Arsenal, even with out at all times being an everyday starter, and it absolutely wouldn’t make sense for the Gunners to promote him for lower than they spent to signal him from Spezia.
Juve and Milan are two massive golf equipment who clearly respect Kiwior’s high quality, so Arsenal will little question do what they will to make sure they pay up for the 24-year-old in the event that they actually need him.

“It does appear to be a defender must transfer on ought to Calafiori arrive, though proper now it does appear that the Italian may are available in earlier than a departure takes place. The most probably choice is that Jakob Kiwior may go. He has a really related profile to Calafiori so it’s laborious to see how they might each be utilised ought to they be within the squad collectively,” Watts mentioned.
“Kiwior is well-liked at Arsenal and Mikel Arteta and his teaching employees are proud of the progress he has made since he signed. He received loads of minutes final season and Arteta trusted him sufficient to play him in plenty of massive video games, even when that was primarily as a stand in left-back.
“So if he does depart, then Arsenal will need to get deal for the 24-year-old. They spent round £20m to signal him simply 18 months in the past and he has improved as a defender since then.
“I’ve seen figures reminiscent of €15m (£12.5m) talked about and that fairly frankly is laughable. Arsenal are already considered as poor sellers with regards to the switch market and a deal like that will be a horrible precedent to set in a summer time when the membership need to make good cash on quite a few departures.”
