Arsenal make key transfer decision on two stars

Arsenal have made a transfer decision on two first-team stars ahead of the January transfer window.

The Gunners are planning to spend in the next transfer window, but they are also open to offloading fringe players.

Cedric Soares is one of the those in the squad and reports claim that the board are prepared to part ways with him.

Villarreal are interested in signing the Portuguese and the Gunners are ready to accept a nominal fee for his services.

Aside from Soares, Jakub Kiwior is another player who has been linked with an exit on a number of occasions.

AC Milan, Roma and Napoli have enquired over him while there is also interest from London counterparts Brentford.

However, the Gunners have replied to each approach with a 'flat no' and they plan to keep him for the campaign.

Kiwior has the ability to play as a centre-back, a left-back or as a holding midfielder. Arsenal value his versatility.

They don't want to lose his services in the title run-in and a decision over his future will be delayed until the summer.
