Arsenal transfer news: Jakub Kiwior is set to join the Gunners

Arsenal are set to complete the signing of Poland defender Jakub Kiwior, according to reports. The Gunners are set to make him their second acquisition of the January transfer window after agreeing a deal for Leandro Trossard.

A deal for Kiwior has come out of the blue. But he is reported to be flying to London this weekend to complete a move to the Emirates.

Kiwior is a left-footed centre-back, who can also operate at left-back and in defensive midfield, and plays for Serie A club Spezia. The 22-year-old started each of his country’s four matches at the World Cup in Qatar before their round of 16 exit to France.

Arsenal were unable to get any signings over the line in the first two weeks of the January window. But they are set to complete two in the matter of a few days.
