One it/one out at Arsenal – Private jets have been scheduled for two days as delay frustrates

Porto are being forced to wait by Arsenal to sign Jakub Kiwior, as the Gunners want to secure Piero Hincapié from Bayer Leverkusen first.

That’s [according to O Jogo](https://www.ojogo.pt/522635163/fc-porto-kiwior-exige-um-jogo-de-paciencia-nesta-reta-final-de-mercado/#iss=https%3A%2F%2Fsso.noticiasilimitadas.pt%2Frealms%2FNI_PRD&iss=https%3A%2F%2Fsso.noticiasilimitadas.pt%2Frealms%2FNI_PRD&iss=https%3A%2F%2Fsso.noticiasilimitadas.pt%2Frealms%2FNI_PRD&iss=https%3A%2F%2Fsso.noticiasilimitadas.pt%2Frealms%2FNI_PRD&iss=https%3A%2F%2Fsso.noticiasilimitadas.pt%2Frealms%2FNI_PRD), who report that private flights have been scheduled for Kiwior for the past two days for the defender.

They explain that the premise of an agreement for Kiwior has been agreed between Arsenal and Porto for a few days, but the Gunners are holding off on finalising it. They want to secure a replacement for Kiwior first.

They already have their ideal target, Hincapié, and negotiations have been started with Bayer Leverkusen over him. The German side’s demands are holding up that deal from taking place, though.

That in turn has held up Kiwior’s departure, much to Porto’s frustration. They’ve had private flights scheduled to depart from London for the past two days but still don’t have a date when Kiwior can catch them to Porto.

They, and their president André Villas-Boas have been forced into a game of patience, waiting for Arsenal to get the deal done for Hincapié that will then see them sanction Kiwior’s exit.
