MIKEL NOT READY TO JAK IT IN...

ARSENAL are expected to block January approaches for Jakub Kiwior.

The Polish international defender caught the eye in midweek when he made his first start of the Premier League season for Mikel Arteta’s side in the shutout of Manchester United.

And in recent weeks, Kiwior’s representatives have once again received enquiries about their client’s availability due to his lack of Gunners minutes this term.

Serie A clubs Napoli, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus feature on a list of potential suitors for the 24-year-old.

But Arsenal stood firm in August when Bologna and Villarreal wanted to sign Kiwior on a season loan.

The Pole remains on the fringes at the Emirates, but Arsenal value his versatility and want to keep him – then reassess his future in the summer.
