Everton poised to land Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior
Everton are considering a move for Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior, with manager David Moyes keen to strengthen his defensive options. The Poland international, who has enjoyed success with both Arsenal and his national team, is said to be open to leaving the Emirates in search of more consistent playing time, and Everton could provide the perfect opportunity.
Kiwior has featured 68 times for Arsenal, contributing 3 goals and 5 assists, while also impressing on the international stage with 35 appearances for Poland, scoring twice. Despite showing quality in his performances, competition for places at Arsenal has limited his role, making a summer transfer increasingly likely. Reports suggest that he wants a move where he can play more regularly, something Everton are well-positioned to offer.
The Toffees currently have James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Jake O’Brien in their defensive lineup, but with Michael Keane expected to move on next season, there is a clear need for additional reinforcements. Moyes has long been searching for a reliable left-sided defender, and Kiwior’s attributes make him an ideal candidate. Strong defensively, comfortable on the ball, and tactically versatile, he could bring both depth and balance to Everton’s backline.
According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal’s stance on Kiwior may be softening. While they previously blocked attempts from Crystal Palace to secure his services, discussions could now intensify as the Gunners look to reshape their squad. This creates a potential opening for Everton to act decisively and bring the Poland international to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

If Everton can complete this deal, it would represent a significant boost to their defensive setup. Kiwior not only offers experience at the top level of English football but also brings international pedigree, qualities that could prove vital as Moyes looks to build a more competitive side. His signing would provide immediate competition for places while also delivering a long-term solution for the club’s defensive needs.
Everton supporters will no doubt be watching developments closely, as the addition of Jakub Kiwior could be one of the most important moves of their summer transfer window. With his ability, versatility, and hunger for regular football, the Polish defender could prove to be exactly what the Toffees need to stabilize their defence and push for a stronger campaign in the Premier League.
