Arsenal look set to confirm their second January arrival imminently with Jakub Kiwior joining from Spezia and the latest comments from the sporting director at the Italian club highlights more excellent recruitment from Mikel Arteta and Edu.

A £21million deal with Spezia for Kiwior has been agreed with an initial £17.5million transfer, potentially followed by a further £3.5million in add-ons, football.london understands.
