On Tuesday, Declan Rice and Arsenal sent the Real Madrid crowd to the airport with a 3-0 loss. In central defence, a very solid Kiwior stood and stopped what was of advances from Vinicius Jr. and Mbappe. Mikel Arteta has praised Jakub Kiwior before the game and told how important the Polish international is to the team. Nevertheless, this is the player who has decided to leave the Gunners.
-Well, the good thing about Jakub is that he has been very reliable. We need him, he’s always there, he’s available and he’s doing his job. We’re asking him to play as a left centre-back, as a right centre-back, as a left-back, so he’s ready, he had a smile on his face, he was sad for Gabriel, but he really wanted to play as well and he’s going to be fine,” Arteta said, according to TBR Football.

And Kiwior didn’t let there be any crack in central defence this Champions League night. What Kiwior also knows, is that with William Saliba and both at the club, there will be few starts in the favorite position of central defense.
According to the English media, Italian clubs have picked up that Kiwior is pushing for exit, Juventus, Napoli Bologna and Inter Milan are on track. Both Juventus and Inter Milan had scouts in the stands to follow how the 25-year-old fared against Vinicius and Mbappe, it is reported.
We guess the Inter scouts sent home a message with a big thumbs up.
