Arriving from Italian side Spezia Calcio less than 12 months ago, not many fans would have expected the 23-year-old to be linked with a move away so soon after joining.
However, with the centre-back’s game-time heavily restricted as Mikel Arteta continues with Gabriel and William Saliba at the heart of his defence, Kiwior has found opportunities hard to come by.

“AC Milan will sign a new centre-back in 2024 and Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior is one of the names on their list,” he posted in his exclusive Substack column.
“The problem is the Gunners are currently not keen on letting him go on loan and Milan can only proceed with a loan deal. That’s why they are now considering other targets.”
