"I was valued there; no one wanted to get rid of me. Arteta didn't want me to leave for Portugal either, so I never felt unwanted. The decision to leave was entirely mine. I wanted to play, but with Gabriel and Saliba ahead of me, the chances were small. I convinced him (Arteta) myself. I went to talk to him and explained how I saw everything. He understood my ambitions and my desire."
Jakub Kiwior moved from Arsenal to FC Porto on a season-long loan that includes an obligation to buy. The transfer package involved a 2m loan fee, a 17m obligation to buy, add-ons, and a sell-on clause potentially pushing the fee over 25–27m. Arsenal did not want to let him go and Mikel Arteta initially resisted the move, but Kiwior pushed for the transfer because he faced limited playing opportunities behind William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes. Kiwior said he felt valued at Arsenal, insisted the decision to leave was his, and said he is happy to have moved to Porto.
