According to Football Insider, Juventus are closely monitoring Jakub Kiwior's situation at Arsenal as the Italian giants weigh up a summer approach for the Polish defender, who may look to leave north London in search of more consistent first-team opportunities.

Kiwior, 25, has been called into action by Mikel Arteta following an injury to Gabriel Magalhaes, forming a solid partnership with William Saliba in recent weeks. While his displays have been dependable, his place in the starting line-up is expected to be short-lived, with Gabriel nearing a return to full fitness.

With limited prospects of regular football next season, the versatile centre-back is reportedly attracting strong interest from both Juventus and Inter Milan. Sources suggest that Kiwior is open to the idea of returning to Serie A, where he previously featured for Spezia before joining Arsenal in January 2023.

While Arsenal are determined to retain key players such as Saliba, Kiwior may be viewed as a more expendable option given the competition in central defence.

As Arteta looks to reshape his squad after another campaign without silverware, the club's transfer strategy may hinge on difficult exits like this one.
