Ligue 1 giants Marseille are reportedly planning a summer move for Arsenal’s versatile defender Jakub Kiwior, according to Foot Mercato. The 25-year-old Poland international, capable of playing both as a centre-back and full-back, could be the perfect addition to Roberto De Zerbi’s exciting project in France.
Regular Game Time the Key for Kiwior
With Champions League football secured, Marseille have become an increasingly attractive destination for players seeking top-level action. For Kiwior, who has struggled for consistent minutes under Mikel Arteta, this could be a golden opportunity to revive his career. At 25, he is entering his prime and will be desperate to play regularly — something that looks unlikely at Arsenal given their wealth of defensive options.
Arsenal Could Cash In to Reinforce Other Areas
While Kiwior isn’t considered a first-choice starter in North London, his sale could provide Arsenal with extra funds to strengthen other key areas — notably in attack. With the Gunners aiming to mount a serious title challenge next season, streamlining the squad by offloading fringe players like Kiwior makes both sporting and financial sense.
A Fresh Start in France?
Marseille, under the guidance of De Zerbi, could offer the perfect environment for Kiwior to grow. Surrounded by quality teammates and backed by a passionate fanbase, the Polish defender could rediscover his best form and fulfil his potential on the European stage.
