Arsenal star does not want to join Crystal Palace

Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior has his sights on a move abroad amid interest from Crystal Palace, according to The Sun.

The Poland international has been a quality back-up in the central defensive department, but he is keen on pursuing a new club for regular playing time.

Palace are one of his main admirers, but reports claim that the 25-year-old would prefer to ply his trade away from the Premier League in future.

Porto have been in regular talks with the Gunners for the defender, but they are keen on signing him on season-long loan with an option to buy for £24 million.

Arsenal, on the other hand, may want the guarantee of a transfer. Unless Porto include an obligation to buy, the Gunners are unlikely to sanction a move.

There is also interest from a number of clubs in Italy but as things stand, only Porto have engaged with the Gunners over a possible deal for the former Spezia man.
