News on Arsenal transfers: Jakub Kiwior of Spezia is on the verge of becoming Arsenal's second January target after Leandro Trossard's transfer was completed on Friday.
Jakub Kiwior is reportedly on the verge of joining Arsenal for $21.9 million.
Jakub Kiwior is currently under contract with Arsenal from Spezia.
In addition to giving Gabriel Magalhes the protection he needs, Kiwior meets the ideal criteria for a Mikel Arteta signing.
Before being snatched up by Belgian powerhouse Anderlecht, Kiwior began his football career at GKS Tychy. He spent two years there in the youth academy, which is known for turning out players like Vincent Kompany and Romelu Lukaku.
When he left Anderlecht's academy at age 18, Kiwior played 76 times for FK Zeleziarne Podbrezova and MSK Zilina in Slovakia. In 77 senior appearances, he collected five goals and seven assists (according to Transfermarkt).
Kiwior made his first significant transfer during the 2021/22 season, moving from MSK Zilina to Spezia for a cost of £2 million. Thiago Motta, a former midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, oversaw the team at the time and gave Kiwior 21 starts, definitely seeing something in him as a midfielder.
When facing a forward in a 1vs1 situation, Kiwior's massive size and long legs provide him a substantial advantage, but occasionally, opponents with a low center of gravity and greater quickness expose him.
Even at the age of 22, he has a profound comprehension of the game, and this season, as his flexibility on the field has been obvious, Arteta and Edu may find him to be a wise purchase.
