Arsenal 25yo’s future open despite long-term deal

Jakub Kiwior’s future remains open at this stage, with reports suggesting that an Arsenal exit perhaps a little less likely in light of his recent form on the pitch.

Journalist Abdellah Boulma reports that despite Jakub Kiwior having a contract with Arsenal lasting until 2028, his future remains open.

The defender is being closely followed by several European clubs, and he’ll make a decision in consultation with Arsenal at the end of the current campaign.

David Ornstein adds for The Athletic that a summer exit for Kiwior previously seemed “highly possible” but may now be less certain with the way he’s playing.

Reports in January suggested at least three Serie A clubs were interested in signing Kiwior at the time, but Arsenal didn’t want to sell.

Even though Kiwior wasn’t a regular starter at that point, it was clear that he would quickly become one if the Gunners picked up any defensive injuries.

So it proved, with Gabriel Magalhaes ruled out for the season and the Poland international taking his place.

Kiwior has been performing well, starring in the Champions League quarter-finals against Real Madrid and scoring against Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

At the very least, his value should be rising, but Arsenal may well decide not to sell him again this summer. With three years on his contract, there’s little urgency there.
