Wolves‘ Premier league The campaign experienced a difficult start after being beaten 4-0 by Manchester City on Saturday evening.
Despite the score, Wolves Boss Vitor Pereira had admiration for the way its side was playing, saying: “We played with bravery, tried to score goals, and we had our chances of scoring. In the end, each time we made an error, they punished us with a goal.”
The Wolves had only one target shot, less than City, but a bad day in the goalkeeper Jose his saw him underperform his XG confronted with -1,73, which means that he conceded the chances he should have saved. The performance of SA was aggravated by a defensive error by Emmanuel Agbadou who saw his pass badly placed at Oscar Bobb of the city, which proceeded to Tijani Reijnders.
Agbadou’s place in the start of 11 can now be threatened while wolves ended with an agreement for a new central defender.
Out of hand have revealed that wolves are one of the parts “showing the interest” of the signing of the Polish defender of Arsenal, Jakub Kiwior.
The central rear received a long race in the team in the back half of last season when Gabriel was injured, and meanwhile, his performances were Labeled as “impressive” by analyst Ben MattinsonPerhaps where his increased interest started.
The player is not the one that the boss of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, wants to sell, but after having already been behind William Saliba and Gabriel in the peaking of the first team and with a new arrival, Cristhian Mosquera is also likely to start in front of him, Kiwior is open to a move somewhere where he can receive more playing time.
If the wolves want to sign Kiwior, they will face an important opposition from the Premier League, because Crystal Palace and Everton would be interested. They will be faced with additional competition on the continent with Serie A teams from Juventus and AC Milan, as well as Portugal Porto.
Kiwior will not be cheap and is evaluated more than 30 million pounds sterlingWhich would make him the most expensive defender in the history of the club, ahead of Nathan Collins and Nélson Semedo.
While Kiwior impressed in the back half of last season, there is a reason why he is not a regular starter for Arsenal, and that is his defensive success rate.

These statistics are quite overwhelming for a defender. 90% of the central defenders of the Premier League won a higher percentage of their attempts to plated last season, and even its best defensive attribute, which is its duels, puts 60% of the central defenders ahead of it.
However, what Kiwior lacks in defensive attributes, he compensates in his capacity of passage. Last season, the Polish international recorded a success rate of 91.9%, which placed it in 15% of players. In addition, its long ball success rate was just as impressive, its long bullets reaching their target more than half of the time, which still placed it in 15% of players.
A reliable passage is the place where the wolves went wrong for the second goal they conceded against City, and having someone with the distribution of Kiwior in this back line will make mistakes like this less frequent.
Pereira’s defensive configuration will also cover some of Kiwior’s gaps while the Wolves boss likes to play three central defenders compared to Arteta, who plays two. This means that Kiwior will always have two players with him (as well as the wings in the process of going back and backgrounds back) to help collect his defensive load, allowing him to be the main distributor forward in the three rear.
Based on this, when Kiwior uses his transfer options, he can prioritize wolves because he is not only somewhere where he can play but where the system suits him.
