Arsenal do not plan on selling Jakub Kiwior in the January transfer window despite interest from two Serie A clubs, according to Tuttomercatoweb. Kiwior is considered as an important backup option to Gabriel Magalhaes by Mikel Arteta and the manager has no intention of letting him go.
The versatile Polish defender joined the Gunners from Spezia in January 2023 in a bid to bolster the club's defensive options. Kiwior has played a peripheral role in Arteta's setup, recording two goals and five assists in 47 appearances across competitions. He has managed just five league appearances off the bench this season, racking 329 minutes in nine games across competitions.
As per the abovementioned source, Fiorentina and Napoli have inquired about Kiwior and would like to take him on loan in January. The club also received offers for the 24-year-old from Bologna and Inter Milan last summer.
However, Arsenal are not keen on parting with the Poland international as selling him would mean they'd have to rope in a replacement. Kiwor can operate as a centre-back or left-back and offers multiple options in defense for the Gunners.
Arsenal keeping tabs on £50m rated Bundesliga star: Reports
Arsenal are reportedly monitoring Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush. The Egyptian forward has enjoyed a stellar 2024-25 season in Germany, scoring 14 goals and creating 10 more in 17 games across competitions for the Bundesliga outfit.
Marmoush's form has drawn him interest from several top European clubs including the Gunners. Liverpool, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United are also interested in the 25-year-old as per TBR Football.
Arsenal are still a formidable forward as they look to solidify their status as title contenders. Marmoush could add more firepower to Mikel Arteta's side in attack. His ability to play as a winger or an attacking midfielder makes him a potentially valuable asset to the club.
His contract with Eintracht Frankfurt does not expire until 2027, thus the Gunners will have to pay a tangible fee for his services. The Egyptian reportedly has a market valuation of £33.5 million (as per Transfermrkt) but the club could demand as much as £50 million from interested clubs.
