Arsenal is reportedly preparing a player swap deal with AC Milan to acquire Samuel Chukwueze. Milan could receive Jakub Kiwior in exchange, with Chukwueze struggling for regular playing time since his €21.1 million transfer. Arsenal seeks to strengthen their squad after injuries to key players like Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka.
Arsenal is reportedly preparing a player swap deal with AC Milan to bring Nigerian forward Samuel Chukwueze to the Emirates. Chukwueze, who joined Milan from Villarreal for €21.1 million last year, has struggled for regular playing time, with only three goals and one assist in 21 appearances this season. Despite a solid start to his Milan career, the 25-year-old has often found himself on the bench.
In exchange, Arsenal is set to offer Polish defender Jakub Kiwior, who has had limited opportunities this season, making just eight Premier League appearances. Kiwior, who has not been a key figure at Arsenal, is reportedly seen as surplus to requirements. The Gunners, long-time admirers of Chukwueze, are looking to finalize the deal, especially after recent injuries to key players like Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka.
Chukwueze’s potential move to the Premier League would provide him with a fresh start and more regular playing time, while Kiwior’s departure would allow Arsenal to bring in the attacking reinforcement they need. This move could benefit both clubs as they look to adjust their squads for the remainder of the season.
