Arsenal made a notable signing in the form of Jakub Kiwior during the previous January transfer window.
The talented young Polish defender was brought in from Serie A side Spezia, and he has quickly established his value as a versatile and dependable squad player in Mikel Arteta’s team.
Fabrizio Romano, in his Daily Briefing column, revealed that Kiwior garnered interest from other clubs during the summer. Sevilla and an unnamed Italian club were reportedly keen on acquiring the 23-year-old on loan.
Arsenal was determined to retain Kiwior, and it seems this decision has proven to be the right one.
Kiwior has seamlessly integrated into the Emirates Stadium and is poised to play a significant role throughout the demanding season. This is especially important as the club is likely to face injuries and the need to rest players from time to time.
Romano discussed Kiwior’s situation, stating, “It’s been reported that Mikel Arteta stopped Jakub Kiwior from leaving Arsenal on loan in the summer. Sevilla were interested in the Polish defender, it’s true, and there was also an unnamed Italian club keen on signing him.
But Arsenal always wanted Jakub to stay and be part of the rotations this season, so there was never a concrete chance of leaving the club.”
