Arsenal eyeing Chukwueze as Saka stand-in, could offer Kiwior in exchange

Arsenal are exploring options to reinforce their attack in the January transfer window, with Bukayo Saka sidelined until March due to injury. One potential target is AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze.

According to reports from Italy, Arsenal could acquire Chukwueze for around £17 million. However, the Gunners may look to sweeten the deal by offering defender Jakub Kiwior as part of a swap arrangement.

Milan are said to be admirers of Kiwior, who has struggled for consistent playing time at Arsenal behind Gabriel and William Saliba. A player exchange could suit both clubs, with Arsenal gaining cover for Saka and Milan strengthening their defensive options.

While Chukwueze has had an up-and-down spell at Milan so far, his former coach Stefano Pioli praised his quality and work ethic. The Nigerian international could provide the attacking depth Arsenal need during Saka’s absence.

As the January window approaches, Arsenal appear to be casting a wide net for potential attacking reinforcements. Chukwueze represents an intriguing option, especially if Kiwior can be used to facilitate a deal.
