Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior is set to join FC Porto after the Portuguese giants struck a full agreement with the Gunners over a transfer package worth up to \u20ac27 million. The deal, finalized after weeks of negotiations, includes a \u20ac2 million loan fee, a \u20ac17 million obligation to buy, and performance-related add-ons worth an additional \u20ac5 million. Arsenal have also secured a sell-on clause as part of the agreement<\/p>\n
The Polish centre-back had been keen on a move to Porto since July, and his desire to switch to Portugal has now paid off. Kiwior is expected to travel within the next 24 hours to undergo medical tests and complete the formalities before being unveiled as a new Porto signing.<\/p>\n
Kiwior joined Arsenal from Spezia in January 2023 for a fee in the region of \u20ac25 million. While he showed glimpses of promise under Mikel Arteta, competition for places in the heart of Arsenal\u2019s defence limited his playing time.<\/p>\n
With William Saliba and Gabriel Magalh\u00e3es firmly established as the club\u2019s first-choice pairing, opportunities for the Polish international were restricted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
