Oskar Pietuszewski, a 17-year-old attacker from Jagiellonia Bialystok, has received new attention as Arsenal discreetly surveys the European youth market once more. Tomasz Wlodarczyk claims for Meczyki.pl that the Polish club is preparing for impending offers ahead of the January transfer window, even if they intend to hold onto their young players until the conclusion of the season, as reported by the Daily Cannon.
Pietuszewski’s autograph is already up for grabs. Wlodarczyk now discloses that Arsenal is also keeping a careful eye on the teenager’s circumstances. Previously, Chelsea, Anderlecht, Lille, Bologna, PSV Eindhoven, and Ajax were also interested.
Jagiellonia continues to have internal faith that the winger will stay through the current season despite the growing list of suitors. Wlodarczyk observes that his agent still says he “will complete the season with Jagiellonia”, a position perhaps influenced by the player’s growth trajectory and the team’s domestic goals.
Arsenal vying for Oskar Pietuszewski
According to the source, the young potential is a central midfielder with skills that some of the best teams on the continent would like to have. But Pietuszewski has primarily played left winger for his team, which makes his profile much more adaptable to some of the major teams’ preferences.
Speaking of major teams, the 17-year-old Polish prodigy is attracting the attention of teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Arsenal. According to reports, Jagiellonia would seek at least £13 million from potential buyers if they were to sell the player; this amount may increase with incentives and add-ons.
Timing might be important if Arsenal is a real contender. Given the Gunners’ expenditure in the most recent window and the ensuing restrictions, the possibility of a midseason swoop seems unlikely.
The extended horizon appears to be more advantageous. Arsenal should be prepared to make more aggressive reinvestments by the summer of 2026, which might put them in a better negotiation position if Pietuszewski’s development keeps picking up speed.
