Details of the Transfer

As part of the agreement, Arsenal will receive a 2 million euro sell-on clause for any future transfer involving Kiwior. The 26-year-old centre-back initially joined Porto on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day, which included the option for the Portuguese side to secure his services on a permanent basis.
