Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly in a battle for the signature of Sporting Club defender Goncalo Inacio, making it one of the transfer sagas to closely monitor.
Both clubs need reinforcements in defence as they vie for the Premier League title. Despite Liverpool boasting a solid group of centre-backs, the recent long-term injury to Joel Matip has heightened their need for defensive reinforcements in the upcoming transfer window.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is considering parting ways with Jakub Kiwior and may be open to allowing the Polish international to leave. They aim to replace him with a more adept defender.
According to A Bola, Arsenal is currently leading the race for Inacio’s signature, placing them ahead of Liverpool in the pursuit. Arsenal is reportedly in the pole position to secure the defender, and they are looking to capitalise on this advantage by sealing the deal swiftly, understanding that Liverpool could mount an offensive to turn the tide in their favour.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Inacio has been one of the finest players at Sporting Club over the last few months and will certainly play for a bigger European club.
If we want to be that team, we must work hard now and ensure he does not join Liverpool before we are ready to make an offer for his signature.

o.k. so we’re interested in Gyokeres and Inacio; oh heck lets just bring on Sporting’s starting 11.
Surprised to here that you consider Kwior to be less than proficient, as from what I have seen he is entirely adept and versatile in that he can play at left CB, LB, and as he did in Italy on occasion as a DM.Despite not being a regular at Arsenal he is highly regarded by most Gunners I know and he has cemented his position as a first choice CB for Poland.Given his credentials, and the injuries to Timber and Toni I find it difficult to conceive that we are looking to dispense with his services.Off topic, in view of our apparent interest in Douglas Luiz I watched him carefully for the third time this month and I have to say I really do not see what all the fuss is about.He is an intelligent recycler of the ball, but like Jorjinho he does not cover the ground quickly and is not efficient defensively..In essence I sincerely hope the rumours concerning his transfer to Arsenal prove to be unfounded.
Grandad I saw him tew Luiz isn’t the kind of midfielder that arsenal should be chasing after Onana of Everton Fofana of Monaco and Koopmeiners of Atalanta are the good choices arsenal should try to bring.
Of the three you mention Naftall, my preference would be Fofana.
Grandad, Personally I have never thought Arenal are in any serious way interested in Luiz. Its true they may have sounded out Villa and been rebuffed but sounding out other clubs goes on all the time, esp during windows, and a tiny percent only ever amounts to anything tangible.
IF IT EVER DIDN’T, THE INS AND OUTS AT ALL TOP CLUBS WOULD MAKE A BUSY HOTEL ENTRANCE IN CENTRAL LONDON LOOK QUIET BY COMPARISON.
All wise fans realise JA needs rumours to feed on,just like people need food air and water.
But almost all the constant rumours are without ANY foundation at all.
I realise you know that GRANDAD, BUT SOME ON HERE HAVE NEVER WORKED THAT OUT.
If Gongalo Inacio is a top quality centreback and of a very high caliber pedigree in match defending at the top level of the game.
Why not? Arsenal could sign him in the upcoming winter transfer window. But if they so desire to sign him. And use him to replace Kiwior but if he leaves Arsenal in next January window to go and pasture new.
But can Arsenal not keep 4 top quality centrebacks in their team squid at the same time in a season for a season campaign?
So that the teamy will not be found wanting when injuries happened to hit 2 of their recognised CBs and sideline them during the season?
I think in the absence of Timber at LB in the team. Kiwior is being covered to a LB as backup to Zinchenko.
Pending when Timber will be back from his Acl to see if he will be at the top level that he was before his Acl injury. Because Acl is a stubborn injury that doesn’t 10m% heal,
i think Arsenal SHOULD still kept kiwior but not sell him next winter window. If he’s agitating he wants out. Arteta SHOULD ignore his agitation to leave Arsenal next winter window. And continue with his keeping him in his Arsenal team squad.
How much? Also “just Arsenal” have reported Arsenal linked with over 40 players. Although it’s a good read, there is no real evidence that Arteta will be buying anyone, as he has not made any statements so far in the press. At least link Arsenal to some quality players if you are going to make it up. Not the rubbish players with poor STATs and way over priced. Arsenal should buy top academy players and develop the youth team and give them more first team opportunities, and not just warm the bench. The mega funds are not their, and you will hear about Arsenal selling before they decide to buy.
We only report all the JUST ARSENAL rumours that are being produced by other outlets. We only put them up for discussion, we do NOT make them up mate. (not like some publications lol)
