Romano: Milan miss out as Spezia star heads for medical ahead of €25m Arsenal move

AC Milan are set to miss out on another of their reported targets as Jakub Kiwior is heading for a medical before joining Arsenal, a report claims.

It was reported as recently as this morning by Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews) that Milan’s technical director Paolo Maldini went to the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo to watch the last 16 tie in the Coppa Italia between Atalanta and Spezia yesterday, to observe his son Daniel in action but also Kiwior.

However, Di Marzio and Fabrizio Romano are both reporting that Kiwior is now very close to saying goodbye to Serie A and joining the current Premier League leaders Arsenal in a deal that will be worth €25m plus bonuses.

The indiscretions first arrived from Polish site Meczyki and have now been confirmed, and now the 22-year-old will board a flight to London either tomorrow or Sunday to undergo his medical with the Gunners and sign a long-term deal.
