Mikel Arteta says that the Arsenal player may have a great future
Mikel Arteta was effusive in his praise for Jakub Kiwior following his full Premier League debut against Chelsea last night.
In January, the Gunners acquired the talented Polish player from Spezia for £20 million
Nobody anticipated that he would be selected over Rob Holding yesterday, despite the fact that he hasn’t had many opportunities.
However, Arteta placed his trust in Kiwior, and the 23-year-old did not disappoint. According to thesoccerstand.com, the Gunners’ manager praised him in a press conference.
Mikel Arteta believes Jakub Kiwior has the potential to become an outstanding player for Arsenal.
Arsenal entered last night’s match against Chelsea having gone four games without a victory.
They were held to a single point against Liverpool, West Ham United, and Southampton, and were routed at the Etihad by Manchester City.
Rob Holding received a great deal of unjustified criticism for his performances in those contests. Last night, however, Arteta decided to bench the Englishman and replace him with Kiwior.
Even though he didn’t have to do much in terms of defending, the Pole’s presence and quality with the ball were evident to all.
Arteta was pleased with Kiwior’s performance and stated last night that the defender has the potential to become a future ‘great’ for Arsenal.
In his post-match press conference, the Spaniard remarked, “He appeared primed, fresh, and extremely determined.
“Every single day, he improves not only in his training but also in his interaction and vocabulary. I recruited him because he is more settled and a player I genuinely enjoy.
“At his age, he has the potential to be great, and against the players he faced today, he performed exceptionally well.”
Kiwior is an athlete with immense potential.
The Pole can operate as a central defender, a left back, and a defensive midfielder. His passing range is incredible for a defender, and he possesses excellent ball control.
In recent years, Arsenal has recruited as well as any other Premier League team. Almost every player they’ve signed has proven to be an outstanding addition, and last night, Kiwior joined that group.
The Gunners’ upcoming match against Newcastle United will be extremely challenging. It will be intriguing to see if Kiwior retains his position on the team.
