Arsenal should not offload Jakub Kiwior in January
In our opinion, Arsenal should not offload Jakub Kiwior in the January transfer window.
The Gunners need a strong squad in their quest to win the Premier League title as well as make an impact in the UEFA Champions League.
Yes, Kiwior is a squad player at Arsenal now, but the Gunners could need him. After all, Jurrien Timber may not play again this season. And you never know what injuries could happen in the coming weeks and months.
For Kiwior himself, staying at Arsenal for the rest of the season would make sense.
Yes, the 23-year-old is struggling for playing time, but he is getting a lot of experience training under manager Mikel Arteta and being part of the Premier League.
Kiwior has made two starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal this season.
The £20 million (Sky Sports) defender has made two substitute appearances in the UEFA Champions League for Mikel Arteta’s side this campaign.
