Jakub
Kiwior
Career
at
a
Glance:
Jakub
Kiwior
is
a
22-year-old
centre-back
who
has
been
playing
for
Italian
club
Spezia
since
2021.
He
has
played
43
times
for
them
and
has
played
17
times
in
the
league
this
season.
He
started
his
career
with
the
Anderlecht
youth
side
and
has
played
for
Zilina
in
the
Slovakian
league
before
moving
to
Spezia.
The
youngster
is
also
a
senior
Poland
international,
having
played
9
times
for
his
country
already.
Why
Arsenal
want
Jakub
Kiwior:
The
lanky
defender
is
a
ball-playing
defender,
something
that
suits
Arsenal
and
has
racked
up
good
numbers
in
Italy.
His
aerial
ability
is
something
that
has
also
induced
Arsenal’s
interest
in
the
player
and
Mikel
Arteta
has
given
green
signal
to
complete
the
deal.
The
player
will
be
predominantly
a
backup
for
Gabriel
Magalhaes
and
William
Saliba,
who
are
the
regular
centre-backs
for
Arsenal.
He
will
be
getting
opportunities
in
the
FA
Cup
and
Europa
League
matches.
His
age
also
favours
the
Gunners’ vision
as
the
22-year-old
has
the
years
ahead
of
him.
Borussia
Dortmund
had
a
€22m
offer
rejected
a
few
days
ago
for
Jakub
Kiwior,
and
they
are
very
good
with
their
scouting.
He’s
a
left
footed
centre-back,
who
can
play
at
left-back
and
defensive
midfield
if
needed.

The
youngster
can
also
play
at
the
midfield
and
is
adept
as
a
traditional
no.

which
gives
added
incentive
to
his
profile.
Arsenal
are
also
on
the
verge
of
signing
Leandro
Trossard,
the
star
winger
of
Brighton.
The
North
London
club
are
aiming
to
bolster
their
squad
as
they
look
for
a
Premier
League
title
in
19
years.
They
currently
sit
at
the
top
of
the
Premier
League
table
with
47
points
from
18
games.
