"Whilst admitting that the Gunners do seem to have issues when it comes to selling players for decent money, one source Watts has spoken to seems to think the Poland international could end up moving for a total of 30m. That, however, is still very cheap for a player of Kiwior's quality, even if he hasn't been a regular starter during his time at the Emirates Stadium."
"Leverkusen are said to be holding out for Hincapie's 60m release clause for example. Is he really worth twice what Kiwior is worth? Kiwior has been a decent signing and last season he proved to everyone that he is more than capable of performing at the very highest level when he filled in for the injured Gabriel."
"From a conversation I've had there is a belief around Arsenal that the final fee if the deal goes through will be far closer to 30m than 25m, providing all the bonuses and add-ons are met. Even then it feels a bit low to me, especially when you compare it to some of the other fees we are seeing players move for this summer."
Arsenal expect Jakub Kiwior's move to Porto to land closer to 30m than 25m if all bonuses and add-ons are met. The final total depends on which figures from each club prove accurate. The proposed fee is viewed by some as low relative to current market valuations and comparable transfers. Kiwior demonstrated high-level performance when replacing the injured Gabriel last season, which supports arguments for a higher valuation. By comparison, Piero Hincapié is linked with a 60m release clause, prompting debate over relative worth between the defenders.
