Jakub Kiwior to Arsenal transfer reveals Takehiro Tomiyasu's role as Mikel Arteta solves dilemma

Arsenal have bolstered their first-team squad even further with the signing of Jakub Kiwior from Spezia in a deal worth £21m.

The Poland international became the Gunners' second signing of the January transfer window - after Leandro Trossard's arrival from Brighton & Hove Albion last Friday - when his move was announced on Monday evening, leaving Mikel Arteta delighted to have added to the defensive unit.

"It’s great that Jakub is joining us. He’s a young versatile defender who has shown huge potential and qualities with Spezia in Serie A, and also at international level with Poland," the Spaniard told the club's official website. "Jakub is a player who will give us strength and quality to our defensive unit. We welcome Jakub and his family to Arsenal and look forward to working with him."
