Arsenal have reportedly turned down a £12.5 million opening bid from Napoli for Polish defender Jakub Kiwior ahead of the January transfer window. The 23-year-old has struggled to secure regular playing time at the Emirates, fueling speculation about his future with the club.
Kiwior, who joined Arsenal in January 2023, has made 50 appearances across all competitions but has been unable to cement a starting role, facing stiff competition from Gabriel Magalhães and Riccardo Calafiori. This season, the versatile defender has made just two Premier League starts, leading to growing frustration over his limited role.
Recent reports have linked Kiwior with a return to Italy, where he previously played for Spezia in Serie A. While Arsenal were said to be open to a loan move this winter, Napoli have reportedly made their intentions clear by submitting a formal bid.
