Why Jakub Kiwior was left out of Arsenal squad vs Fulham as plan for £21m signing is confirmed

Jakub Kiwior was a notable omission from the Arsenal matchday squad against Fulham on Sunday afternoon.

The £21million signing from Spezia in the January transfer window is yet to feature for the Gunners in the Premier League, but he had been an ever-present on the substitutes' bench from the Everton game at the beginning of last month up until the trip to Craven Cottage.

As the Arsenal line-up was announced an hour before kick-off against the Cottagers whilst fans were delighted to see Gabriel Jesus back in the squad for the first time in 120 days, ultimately it was at the expense of Kiwior in the only change to the personnel from the 3-2 win over Bournemouth a week prior.
