Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Spezia central defender Jakub Kiwior will undergo a medical at Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal today.
The Italian journalist has claimed Kiwior will complete his medical at Arsenal today before putting pen to paper on a contract with the Premier League club.
Arsenal will pay Spezia a transfer fee of €25 million (£22 million) for the 22-year-old Poland international central defender, according to Romano.
The well-known and well-respected journalist has added that Arsenal and Spezia have already signed the paperwork.
Jakub Kiwior to undergo Arsenal medical
Exciting
It must be very exciting for Arsenal fans that the club are about to make yet another signing in the January transfer window.
Arsenal completed the signing of Belgium international winger Leandro Trossard from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion on Friday.
And now the North London club are about to bring in Jakub Kiwior.
Now, we do not expect Kiwior to go straight into the Arsenal starting lineup.
However, the 22-year-old centre-back will be a good back-up to have for the Gunners, who are aiming to win the Premier League title this season.
The youngster has made 17 appearances in Serie A for Spezia this season.
Kiwior played in four matches for Poland at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
