Porto are close to agreeing a loan with obligation to buy Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior.
Porto and Arsenal have been discussing a total package that would be worth £26million, including the loan fee.
The 25-year-old Poland international joined Arsenal from Spezia in January 2023 for £20m but has never fully established himself under Mikel Arteta, making 68 appearances largely as cover for William Saliba and Gabriel.
With Arsenal well stocked in central defence, Kiwior has emerged as one of several players the club are prepared to move on before next week’s deadline.
