Arsenal are in talks to complete the signing of Jakub Kiwior from Spezia, football.london understands. As a young left-footed defender, Kiwior fits the ideal profile of a Mikel Arteta signing while also providing needed cover for Gabriel Magalhaes.
With attention understandably on Leandro Trossard, the Gunners have somewhat gone under the radar with their next point of business as a deal with Spezia for Kiwior is close to completion. Polish journalist Tomasz Włodarczyk meanwhile has revealed the north London outfit are close to signing Kiwior for a fee of £21.9million on a five-and-a-half-year contract.
The 22-year-old has played 20 games for Spezia this season, but was on the bench for their last outing against Torino. Kiwior attracted a lot of European interest in the summer but made the decision to remain playing for Spezia in Italy in order to guarantee himself a spot in Poland's World Cup squad by playing as much first-team football as possible.
