Napoli are reportedly considering another move for Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior ahead of the summer transfer window.
 

The 25-year-old has been in impressive form in recent months, stepping in to replace the injured Gabriel Magalhães.

Since joining the Gunners from Serie A side Spezia in January 2023, the Poland international has struggled to secure a regular spot in the starting XI, instead serving as a valuable squad player.

A summer departure from the Emirates Stadium could now be on the cards, as the defender looks for more consistent playing time.

Several Serie A clubs have previously been linked with Kiwior, including both Napoli and AC Milan.

According to Naples-based newspaper Il Mattino, Napoli have renewed their interest in the Arsenal centre-back.

Antonio Conte's side are prioritising the signing of a new central defender this summer, and Kiwior is reportedly among their top targets.

Kiwior is said to be open to a return to Italy, with his agent reportedly receiving multiple enquiries from Serie A clubs — including AC Milan.

Napoli, currently leading Serie A, are believed to hold an advantage in the race for Kiwior due to their ability to offer Champions League football next season.

Arsenal are understood to be open to a sale and have reportedly set an asking price of around €35m.
