The former Spezia defender Jakub Kiwior has ended up on AC Milan’s radar as a result of Pierre Kalulu’s injury. However, according to a report, Arsenal are unwilling to part ways with the centre-back in the middle of the season.
Kalulu sustained a serious injury in Milan’s 2-2 draw against Napoli and will be back in four months. The Rossoneri management, therefore, are looking into the possibility of signing a centre-back in January. It most likely won’t be Kiwior, though.
According to Calciomercato.com, Arsenal are unwilling to discuss any sort of operation involving Kiwior at the moment. The 23-year-old has played just 368 minutes at the start of this season but the Gunners have made their stance clear to Milan and Roma.
The Giallorossi had even proposed a loan move, but it was rejected immediately. The two Italian clubs will thus have to look elsewhere in their respective search for a centre-back. The Rossoneri have quite a few names on their wish list, but a January move is also tough to get over the line.
Stefano Pioli is currently relying on Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori, which certainly isn’t a bad pairing. The hope is that Simon Kjaer will be back in good condition soon as well, which would make the situation more sustainable.
