Before the January transfer window, very few of an Arsenal persuasion would've heard of the name Jakub Kiwior, but fast forward a few months and he could be the signing that got the Premier League title challenge on track. A signing for the future from Spezia in Serie A, the youngster has had to adjust to life in England quickly.
Injury to William Saliba and Takehiro Tomiyasu had left Mikel Arteta scratching his head over his options at centre-back, eventually choosing Rob Holding. However, a poor run of form led to the Spaniard making changes, calling upon Kiwior in the clash against Chelsea.
With it, the side were more compact in their ability to press and their control when on the ball had improved as the youngster helped those around him. "He looked ready, he looked fresh, he looked really determined," Arteta said on the decision to make a switch at that moment.
