Defender Yakub Kivor, who is in front of a summer transfer window joined the port from the arsenal On the right of lease with compulsory redemption, he denied information that the canonical steering wheel Micel Artet wanted to get rid of it.

The 25-year-old Polish defender stated that the trainer of the London club, on the contrary, valued him and did not want to let him go.

“It was funny when I read all these stories because everything was accurate. I was valued there, no one wanted to get rid of me. Artet did not want me to go to Portugal, so I never felt unnecessary. The decision to move to the port fully belonged to me.

The reason for this solution is simple: I wanted to play, but from Big Gabi and Saliba in the future I had a little chance of getting regular game practice, “Kivor admitted to Kivor TVP Sport.

Recall that the port will pay arsenal two million euros for the annual lease of the Pole. Upon completion of the Dragon Lease Agreement, it is obliged to buy Kivore’s contract for 17 million euros. Bonuses of eight million euros are provided.
