Fabrizio Romano reports that Udinese are also among the clubs interested in signing Ziolkowski this summer, but Di Marzio claims that the proposal from Kosta Runjaic’s side has since been turned down. 

Stood at 6’4 in height, Ziolkowski is a traditional centre-back, and is coming in off the back of his first full season in senior football, during which he made 28 appearances across all competitions for the Legia first team.
