On Monday, we covered a claim from Italy that Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior wanted to leave the Gunners in January to get more playing time.
This came amid interest from AC Milan in Italy, who are desperate to sign a centre-back before the end of the transfer window to add more depth to a depleted backline.
Corriere dello Sport bring their information to the table on Tuesday, and state that ‘work is underway’ at the Serie A side to try and bring in the Arsenal defender in the coming days.
They point out how little he has played under Mikel Arteta this season, and recall that Milan already wanted to sign him when he was at Spezia, who chose to send him abroad, to the Emirates, instead to guarantee more income.
The move somewhat backfired for the player, who has struggled to break the Arsenal duo of Gabriel Magalhães and William Saliba at the heart of the defence, having to make do with watching from the bench or sometimes playing at left-back to get minutes.
The Italians would like a loan, which is something the Gunners are ‘not convinced’ to approve at this moment in time.
However, there is a belief that a deal could become available in the ‘final hours of the market’.
Therefore, we might have to wait a bit longer to see what happens.
