Everton are exploring the possibility of signing Arsenal centre-back Jakub Kiwior before the summer transfer window closes, according to reports from Caught Offside.

The Toffees have already made a splash in the market with marquee arrivals such as Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, part of a wider rebuild designed to usher in a new era at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. After opening their Premier League campaign away to Leeds United, Everton will play their first home match at their new ground on matchday two — and fans are hoping further reinforcements will arrive in time.

Kiwior Available for £25 Million

Kiwior, 25, was left out of Arsenal’s matchday squad against Manchester United, a clear indication that the Gunners are prepared to sanction his departure. Valued at around £25 million, the Polish international has attracted interest from overseas but remains firmly on Everton’s radar as Sean Dyche looks to bolster his defence.

Why Kiwior Fits the Bill for Everton

The left-footed defender already has a steady amount of Premier League experience under his belt and possesses the qualities Everton’s backline desperately needs. Renowned for his reading of the game, tackling accuracy, and aerial presence, Kiwior is also comfortable playing as a left-back, giving Dyche tactical flexibility.

With James Tarkowski and Michael Keane both into their 30s, Everton need to inject youth and longevity into their defence. Kiwior represents a player with significant room for growth, and at £25 million, he offers solid value given his age and pedigree.

European Football or Premier League Project?

While Everton can promise Kiwior consistent playing time and a key role in a long-term project, the challenge could be convincing him to forgo European football, with clubs abroad also circling. His decision may ultimately come down to whether he values a starting role in the Premier League over continental competition.

For Everton, though, the pursuit of Kiwior underlines their intent to build a younger, more dynamic squad capable of competing well into the club’s new chapter at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
