AC Milan & Crystal Palace move for 25yo Arsenal star

AC Milan and Crystal Palace have made formal enquiries to sign Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior this summer, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The 25-year-old has been a quality backup option in the central defensive department, but he is open to moving on to play regular first-team football.

Milan recently made an enquiry for the Poland international, but the Gunners' asking price of £26 million is deemed as expensive for them.

Palace, on the other hand, are unlikely to make an official bid until they sort out the future of Marc Guehi, who is on Liverpool's radar.

If the Reds were to sign Guehi, Palace could make a formal bid to purchase Kiwior from the Gunners before the transfer window closes.

Arsenal have already added a new centre-back in their ranks in Cristhian Mosquera, but they could bring in a replacement for Kiwior.

Rennes star Jeremy Jacquet has been identified as a top target. The 20-year-old has been likened to William Saliba for his playing style.
