Arsenal are close to completing the signing of Bologna defender Riccardo Calafioiri which could see one of the club's stars seek playing time elsewhere.
Arsenal's Jakub Kiwior is reportedly set to depart the Emirates Stadium this summer as the club closes in on a deal for Bologna's Riccardo Calafiori.
Manager Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen his defense, and a fee has been agreed with Bologna for Calafiori.
However, Kiwior's playing time may be limited, leading to a potential exit.
