Arsenal and Chelsea have Jagiellonia Białystok’s Oskar Pietuszewski on their agenda.
That’s according to Meczyki.pl, who cover Arsenal and Chelsea interest in the 17-year-old. The winger climbed through the ranks of the Polish club’s academy and made his way into their first team in 2024.

Meczyki.pl journalist Tomasz Włodarczyk claims Arsenal have joined Chelsea and other clubs in the transfer tussle. He adds the player and his club will soon make a decision on his future.
“Chelsea and Anderlecht have already been mentioned. We could add Lille, Bologna, PSV, or Ajax. We’ve also heard of Arsenal, but there are many, many more interested parties in the winger’s talent,” he said.
“The question is who will get down to business and what decisions will be made by Jagiellonia and the player.”

WARSAW, POLAND – 02 APRIL 2025: Jagiellonia Bialystok – Wisla Krakow 1:0, Polish Super Cup Final season 2024-2025, o.p: Oskar Pietuszewski of Jagiellonia
Pietuszewski’s agent Mariusz Piekarski is said to have assured the club he’ll finish this season at Jagiellonia Białystok. The Polish football season runs until May 2026.
The teenager will turn 18 years of age next May. He’ll then be eligible to arrive in the UK. In other words, the agent’s plans favour the Premier League duo.
However, the journalist claims he could receive offers in the winter market.
“Will Pietuszewski stay until the end of the season? That’s the plan, but reality will ultimately dictate it,” Włodarczyk explained.
“In Podlasie, they expect the first concrete offers before the end of the year. The 17-year-old is being watched by all of Europe.”
