Jakub Kivior’s last weeks at Arsenal have been very successful. The Polish representative made his first debut in the starting lineup against Chelsea, and in the next match against Newcastle, he performed well. Coach Mikel Arteta spoke about the performance of the young defender at a press conference.
On Sunday, May 14, at 17:30 Polish time, Arsenal will play Brighton. Mikel Arteta’s men were in the lead for most of the season, but a poor performance saw Manchester City catch up and then overtake them towards the end of the Premier League. The Citizens currently have 82 points and are one point ahead of the Gunners, who also have one more game played (the Londoners have already played 35 games and Manchester City have 34).
Difficult start for Jakub Kivior at Arsenal
This season is exceptional for Polish fans as well, as Jakub Kivior, Spezia’s founding and main player of the World Cup in Qatar, joined the club during the winter transfer window. The defender joined the Premier League for £25m. Although the beginning of Jakub Kivior’s adventure with Arsenal was not the best, because the player had few chances.
His debut for Arsenal came in the Europa League against Sporting CP. Unfortunately for the young Pole, he was very unlucky. Then Kivior could have behaved better in two situations. However, over time, coach Mikel Arteta became convinced of the young defender.
Kivior’s debut in the starting lineup
Finally, the Polish representative made his debut in Arsenal’s starting lineup against Chelsea (3-1 win). The defender played well and made no mistakes, which led to a chance in the next meeting, this time against Newcastle (2-0).
Mikel Arteta on Jakub Kivior: He was really impressive
Now, at a press conference ahead of the Brighton match, Mikel Arteta was asked about Jakub Kivior’s latest performances. “He was really impressive, collected and calm. He was great against two very strong opponents with talented players. He saved a lot of situations and dealt well with his rivals.
These words may indicate that the Polish representative will get another chance to prove himself, this time against Brighton.
