There are no guarantees Jakub Kiwior will remain an Arsenal player beyond this season which could force Mikel Arteta into signing a replacement.
Starting just 11 Premier League games since the start of last season, Kiwior is a sporadic squad player for the Gunners.
Most of the 24-year-old’s appearances have come from the bench, leaving his long-term future in doubt.
Mikel Arteta identifies possible Jakub Kiwior replacement
Although Arteta also has Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jurrien Timber as options at left-back, the Gunners boss could opt to replace Kiwior in the summer.
The Poland international has three-and-a-half years left on his contract and already has suitors in Serie A, including Inter Milan and Napoli.
And according to a recent report from Fichajes, the player at the top of the 42-year-old’s wishlist is Girona’s Miguel Gutierrez.
The 23-year-old Spaniard has played a key role in the team’s Champions League qualifying campaign last season and has picked up where he left off this term.
