Arsenal fans confident they can sell one of their fringe players for at least £50m after he shone vs AC Milan

Arsenal defeated AC Milan 1-0 in a friendly match in Singapore, with Bukayo Saka scoring the winning goal in the 53rd minute. The goal came from close range following an excellent delivery by Jakub Kiwior. Although Arsenal subsequently lost the penalty shootout, manager Mikel Arteta found several positives in the performance, including displays from Max Dowman, Josh Nichols, and Marli Salmon.

Arsenal fans specifically praised Jakub Kiwior's "superb" performance during and after the match. Many supporters claimed his performance elevated his value, asserting he is now worth in excess of £50 million and should not be sold for less. Fans expressed this sentiment strongly on social media, with comments like "Kiwior is 100 times better than Quansah... We shouldn’t sell him for less than £50m" and "Kiwior is now a £50m defender." Others argued that if he played for a club like Chelsea, teams would be willing to pay £50m, stating, "If we sold Kiwior for £50m, we would look back and it would just make sense" and "Chelsea wouldn’t get a penny under £50m for Kiwior." The consensus among fans is that Arsenal should only sell him if they receive an offer north of £50 million.

This fan valuation comes despite reports in May suggesting Kiwior is keen to leave Arsenal, with a potential move before the end of August. Kiwior was originally signed by Arsenal from Italian club Spezia for approximately £20 million, making the £50m fan valuation a significant increase.
