Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior faces an uncertain future at the Emirates amid reports of transfer interest.

The defender is one of several Arsenal players on international duty, earning a call-up for Poland ahead of their November Nations League fixtures.

Poland face battles against Portugal and Scotland during the break in play, where the 24-year-old will hope to play a part in his nation’s games.

Mikel Arteta has encouraged Kiwior to increase his performance level at Arsenal, setting a reasonable challenge for his defender amid a questionable patch of form. 

Juventus target January move for Jakub Kiwior 

Kiwior’s struggles at Arsenal could open a door for a transfer in January, with a return to Serie A a real possibility. 

Some would not expect the side in question to be Juventus, who are in dire need of defensive reinforcements in the winter window.

Corriere dello Sport report that Thiago Motta signing a centre-back in January is an ‘absolute necessity’ after the Italian giants suffered two ACL injuries. 

Juventus tried to sign Kiwior in the summer, however, Arsenal rejected the Bianconeri’s approach, with there hope that a different outcome could come in January. 

That being said, the Poland international isn’t the only player Juve have sounded out to solve their central defensive issues.

Former Tottenham defender Eric Dier is one option, with Harry Maguire and Milan Skriniar being others.

Arsenal issue could impact Juventus’ chances of signing Kiwior

Corriere dello Sport note that Juventus don’t have a big budget although, that’s not the reason why Motta sees a move for Kiwior as slightly out of reach. 

The report details Riccardo Calafiori’s injury, claiming that the summer signing’s current absence could make a proposed loan move for Kiwior ‘much more complicated’. 

While Italian news considers the move to be difficult, there’s a different stance in England regarding the 24-year-old’s future.

Kiwior is one player who could leave Arsenal in January, with the versatile defender not quite up to standard as a cog in Arteta’s ongoing project in North London.

Given that Juve’s interest in Kiwior has not gone away, it will be fascinating to see where his future lies when the January transfer market opens.
