Last season, Jakub Kiwior was an important player for Arsenal, especially in the spring round, when the Londoners were heading for the runner-up position in England, and the Pole played the role of left defender. The 24-year-old also became an undisputed figure in the Polish national team. Since his debut on June 11, 2022, during the term of office of Czesław Michniewicz, he was in the starting lineup in each of the 27 matches in the national team. That only changed in October, when he was left on the bench in the recent clash against Croatia.
Black clouds over Kiwior. The media reports on Arsenal's plans
Since then, Jakub Kiwior's situation at the Emirates Stadium has not changed. The Pole recently played 45 minutes in the Champions League match against Paris Saint Germain, but last weekend in the league match against Southampton he only appeared on the pitch for a minute. At this point, the 24-year-old doesn't have much chance to play, and the media reports that Arsenal is considering transferring the left defender.
The Spanish Fichajes.net reports that Mikel Arteta has noticed Miguel Gutierrez, the Girona player. This is a different left-back profile from Jakub Kiwior or Riccardo Calafori, who are nominal defenders, but also play on the side of defense.
Miguel Gutierrez was the revelation of last LaLiga season. He stood out especially in his offensive play, thanks to which he scored two goals and made seven assists. The 23-year-old's contract is valid until the end of June 2027. Transfermarkt values him at EUR 25 million.
The potential arrival of the Spaniard for good would complicate the situation of Jakub Kiwior. Already in the summer, the media reported that the Pole might return to Italy. His services were monitored by, among others, Inter or Juventus.
