‘Practically freezing’ – Arsenal simply have ‘no intention’ of letting player go, transfer claims dismissed

Jakub Kiwior swapped Spezia for Arsenal in the January window and had less than 500 minutes from eight appearances at the north London club.

The limited game time with the Gunners convinced Napoli to try to bring him back to Italy in the summer, according to La Repubblica, relayed CalcioNapoli1926.it.

It’s claimed the Naples club has already received the approval from the Arsenal defender, who’s ‘tempted’ to return to Serie A. That’s a claim which sounds questionable.

Napoli are expected to part ways with Kim Min-jae in the summer and are in the market for his replacement. The Poland international is identified as one of the targets and this is further backed up by CalcioNapoli24.

Despite it being stated the 23-year-old is open to joining Napoli in the next window, a transfer is unlikely to take shape mainly because of Arsenal.

Even though the Italian champions are yet to appoint Luciano Spalletii’s successor, the report states they have already approached the former Spezia man and Feyenoord’s Dávid Hancko.

It’s said the operation is ‘practically freezing’ for Kiwior. That’s because of Arsenal, who have ‘no intention’ to let the player leave, even on a loan deal, months after they added him to their squad.
