Arsenal are 'set to complete a £17.5m deal for Spezia's Jakub Kiwior' as Mikel Arteta looks to reinforce his defence ahead of title charge... with the Polish centre-back 'poised for a medical in north London THIS WEEK'

Arsenal are reportedly close to completing a deal for centre-back Jakub Kiwior as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his defence in a £17.5million deal.

According to reports, the Polish defender is set to make the switch from Serie A side Spezia to north London, with both sides said to be keen to complete the deal.

Arteta's side have the second best defensive record in the Premier League this season, and William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Ben White have starred at the back, but another option at centre-back will leave the Gunners even stronger.
