Arsenal are prepared to sanction the departure of defender Jakub Kiwior during the summer transfer window, according to Caught Offside.
The 25-year-old has been a squad player for the Gunners, but he has a huge role to play during the back end of the current campaign.
Gabriel Magalhaes‘ has been ruled out for the season with a hamstring injury. Kiwior has the responsibility to partner William Saliba in central defence.
It is now reported that the Gunners are expected to offload the former Spezia man when the transfer window reopens during the summer.
Kiwior is on the radar of several Serie A clubs including Napoli, AC Milan and Juventus. Arsenal could sell him for €25-30m later this year.
If Kiwior were to depart, the Gunners are likely to enter the transfer market for a young centre-back. Ajax’s Jorrel Hato could be targeted.
The Gunners have monitored Hato’s progress over the last couple of years and could make a formal approach to sign the 19-year-old.
