Napoli are set to intensify it January transfer plans, with an eye on Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior, who has also caught the attention of Milan. The 23-year-old Polish center-back who made a move to the Premier League from Spezia for around €25m in January, has found limited playing time under Mikel Arteta. Despite his promising talent and potential, Kiwior has spent most of the season as a backup option. Napoli, in search of defensive reinforcements, see an opportunity to secure his services in the upcoming transfer window.

According to reports from Il Mattino via TMW, Napoli are willing to make a substantial offer of €25m for the player, but Arsenal are not open for a loan deal. However, due to the competition that might ensue, Napoli have an alternative in mind, considering Aston Villa’s Clement Lenglet as an option. The French defender who is currently on loan in the Premier League, could make a switch to Serie A to seek more playing time.
