Arsenal take firm stance on potential transfer exits for first-team duo
Arsenal are reportedly putting their foot down on the futures of Jakub Kiwior and Takehiro Tomiyasu in this January’s transfer window.
The Gunners now seem set to keep the pair, despite some recent transfer rumours suggesting that they could be on their way out of the Emirates Stadium.

Both players have played in Serie A in the past, but now it seems Mikel Arteta wants them around as options for the second half of the campaign, even if they haven’t always been regular starters for Arsenal.
Tomiyasu also looks to be in line for a new contract at Arsenal with improved wages, according to Fabrizio Romano in his Daily Briefing column.
