Arsenal make decision on Kiwior sale after 'several offers'
Arsenal have been left unconvinced by all the offers they have so far received for Jakub Kiwior and it is looking increasingly likely that he will remain with the club until the summer, according to Italian media.
The Poland international has struggled for minutes this season. A utility man for Arsenal, Kiwior only regularly featured a few weeks ago when Gabriel Magalhaes was sidelined with an injury.
Since starting against Fulham on December 8, the 24-year-old has not recorded a single minute of Premier League football, being an unused substitute in all of the five games since.

Unsurprisingly, Kiwior has been heavily linked with a January departure from the Gunners in recent months, but so far, precious little has materialised on that front.
It isn't for a lack of suitors, that is for sure. The former Spezia man still has plenty of admirers in Serie A, but Arsenal are not convinced that selling him would be the right decision halfway through the season.
Kiwior to stay at Arsenal
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Arsenal have received offers and enquiries from several clubs, but all of them have either fallen below the club's valuation of the versatile defender or simply been loans with a purchase option.
The likes of Juventus, Napoli and AC Milan have been associated with the Pole in recent weeks, while Ligue 1 giants Olympique de Marseille have also been briefly linked with him.

Arsenal feel that if they were to sell Kiwior this month, they would have to bring in a replacement, which means that he looks 'destined to remain' at this point.
In the summer, it could be a different story, with the Italian outlet claiming that he could become available for €15 million to €20m in the upcoming transfer window.
