Arsenal have confirmed the signing of Jakub Kiwior joining from Spezia for a fee of £17.5million with a potential further £3.5million in add ons. The 22-year-old becomes the second arrival of the January transfer window following Leandro Trossard who joined from Brighton last week.
His contract will last until 2027 with the option to extend for a further year. Kiwior has spent the last few seasons in Serie A playing both as a holding midfielder and on the left of a back three which certainly could have prompted Mikel Arteta and Edu to sign him.
Along with being a left-footed alternative to Gabriel Magalhaes, Kiwior can fill the role of Thomas Partey, who would be greatly missed through any possible injury, if necessary.
