Arsenal transfer demands for Jakub Kiwior exit
One Arsenal star facing an uncertain future at the club in Jakub Kiwior, with the defender having struggled for game time.
The centre-back has impressed on occasion, while other appearances have come with their own unique difficulties.
With that in mind, several clubs have shown interest in a possible deal for the weeks ahead, with the January transfer window only just around the corner.
According to the Mirror’s update on the 24-year-old, Arsenal see value in him and the side are eager to keep hold of him.
However, should he leave, then a profit may be required to allow for a sale, with his value seen as increasing significantly since his move from Spezia.

Mikel Arteta on Arsenal injury latest
There is a growing injury list once again at Arsenal, with several defenders currently on the sidelines and out of action.
Oleksandr Zinchenko was the latest to join the list of absentees, which includes Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
With a midweek clash against AS Monaco to prepare for as well, Mikel Arteta gave an update on the injury scenario.
He told the press after a draw with Fulham: “I hope [players will return against AS Monaco on Wednesday] but it’s more a question for the doctors. We are missing a lot of players in the backline.”

Paul Merson makes bold Emile Smith Rowe claim
Former Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe has impressed ever since he made the switch across London to join up with Fulham.
The versatile forward struggled for minutes at the Emirates Stadium, with a mixture of competition and injuries impacting his game time.
The move to the Cottagers wasn’t an easy one to make for any party, however it has since seen a return to form for Smith Rowe.
That, Paul Merson believes, will help him regain a place in the England squad as he said on Sky Sports: “I think so [he has a point to prove].
“He burst onto the scene, we were all raving about him and he picked up a couple of injuries and you get behind the eight ball and it’s hard to get back in, when you’re at a big club like Arsenal, you fall behind and miss a couple of games and someone else gets in and does better than you, it’s hard to get back in.
“Great place to go and play your football, Fulham… This lad, Smith Rowe, I think he gets back in the England team soon, I like him.”
It remains to be seen if he can make his way back into the England setup, but it certainly isn’t out of the question.
