Reports emerging from London suggest Wolves are interested in an Arsenal man who is struggling for minutes under Mikel Arteta.
Wolves are far from done in the transfer market, with Vitor Pereira voicing the need for further additions.
The right-back position looks sorted with Jackson Tchatchoua on his way to Molineux, but another attacker is needed, and another reinforcement in defence would be great.

Arsenal are exploring the possibility of moving on one particular name after contract negotiations stalled, and Wolves could be positioned for a swoop.
Wolves interested in Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior
Jakub Kiwior wants more minutes, and given Arsenal’s stacked defence, a move away might be his only option.
According to CaughtOffside, Crystal Palace are looking at the Polish international as a potential Marc Guehi replacement if his rumoured move to Liverpool materialises.

Everton, AC Milan, Juventus and Porto are all interested in the left-back/centre-back hybrid as well.

But Wolves have now thrown their hat in the ring too, seeing the contract uncertainty as a market opportunity to strengthen at the back. The 25-year-old has shown potential when called upon for the Gunners, and it could be a very smart move.
Jakub Kiwior would give Vitor Pereira a selection headache
Kiwior is a versatile defender who has played at left-back and in the centre for Mikel Arteta. His technical ability and composure would add stability to Wolves in possession.
But he’s not quick enough to play wing-back in this system, as Pereira prefers an attacking player on the flank, so Kiwior’s arrival would stir up competition in the back-three.
Toti Gomes is a leader for Wolves and an integral piece to the side, making his spot pretty secure. Emmanuel Agbadou has had a poor pre-season, but if he returns to the level he reached upon arrival in January, it’s hard to see him losing out.

That leaves the right-sided role, where Matt Doherty and Yerson Mosquera are competing. This seems the most likely avenue for Kiwior to get into the starting XI, though as a left-footed defender, some shuffling may be needed for the manager to be happy with his inclusion.
For now, it’s just speculation, but we will continue to monitor the situation in the coming days.
