Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal prospect Jakub Kiwior is "getting better every day" after seeing his faith rewarded by starting him against Chelsea.
Kiwior, 23, made his full Premier League debut on Tuesday as the Gunners ran out comfortable 3-1 winners in a one-sided London derby. The Polish defender, making only his second start after Arsenal paid £21million for him in the January transfer window, impressed while playing alongside fellow left-footer Gabriel, who went off injured to add to Arteta's injury woes at centre-back.
Fortunately for the Gunners boss, Kiwior showed signs that he's able to step up if Gabriel is forced to miss a run of games sitting the sidelines, just as William Saliba has been doing for the last seven. "He looked ready, he looked fresh. He looked really determined, he's been getting better and better every single day," Arteta beamed post-match when asked about the Poland international's display.
