The January transfer window could be the time when Jakub Kiwior finally leaves Arsenal, with a number of clubs interested in his services, but the north Londoners are understood to want him to stay.
Although it was previously reported that the Polish ace was ready to move in the new year, with sources from CaughtOffside understanding that both AC Milan and Napoli have asked arsenal if they can sign a 24-year-old defenseman on loan, it seems Mikel Arteta now he doesn’t want Jakub Kiwior leave

“Mikel Arteta has spoken to Jakub and told him that he doesn’t want to let him go in January and that he wants to give him more playing time in the coming weeks,” a source close to the club told CaughtOffside a few days ago.
Kiwior’s recent bug it won’t have done anything for his confidence and in fact could give his Spanish coach more information.
Sevilla, who are currently struggling in La Liga, are also known to be in favor of a potential move, however, an asking price of around £45m could rule them out of the running for the Premier League ace

Napoli and AC Milan are certainly frontrunners in any race at the moment as they have met with Arsenal, renewed their interest in the player and expressed their willingness to negotiate for him.
Kiwior is not ruling out a return to Italy, having joined the Gunners from Spezia, but CaughtOffside sources understand that his priority is also to stay at Arsenal provided he gets enough game time.
Fiorentina, Juventus, Inter, Villarreal, Olympique de Marseille and Atalanta are also closely following Kiwior’s performances with the idea of a possible move if they believe he would be successful.
