Mourinho wants Roma to sign Arsenal star in January

AS Roma head coach, Jose Mourinho has reportedly asked his club to sign Arsenal defender, Jakub Kiwior in the January window.

Mourinho wants to add Kiwior to his backline in a bid to bolster Roma’s defence in the second half of the campaign.

According to the Italian publication Romagiallorossa, Mourinho’s side are looking to sign either Kiwior or Tottenham’s Eric Dier in January.

Kiwior joined Arsenal from Italian club Spezia Calcio back in January for a fee of €25 million.

The 23-year-old has struggled for regular game-time as he’s seen as a back-up to first-choice left centre-back Gabriel.

The Poland international has managed just four Premier League appearances for Mikel Artea’s side so far this season.

He has completed 16 appearances across all competitions for the Gunners, scoring a goal and providing no assists.

However, Roma are seeking a cheap signing, given Evan Ndicka will be away at the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, with Ivory Coast in January.
