Arsenal are unlikely to consider any January interest from AC Milan

According to sources cited by James Benge of CBS Sports, it is highly improbable that Arsenal would give AC Milan's January interest in Jakub Kiwior any serious thought. Given Arsenal's current defensive weakness, Kiwior may be asked to contribute significantly to the squad in the upcoming weeks.

This is in line with similar allegations made by the Evening Standard earlier this month, which stated that Arsenal has no intention of letting the defender move during the winter transfer season and is anticipated to reject bids for Kiwior in January. Arsenal is severely lacking in centre backs with Takehiro Tomiyasu's persistent injury issues and Jurrien Timber's continued absence. Mikel Arteta's starting lineup consists of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, and it would take a lot to alter that. However, anytime one of the players in front of him needs a break, Kiwior is unquestionably the first person in queue.
