34 days – so much Jakub Kiwior is waiting for another performance in the colors of Arsenal. For the last time he appeared on the pitch in the match with Girona in the Champions League, while in five consecutive matches he did not even rise from the bench. In total, from December 21, the Polish representative recorded 180 minutes, or two meetings – both in the Champions League – with Dinam Zagreb and just with the Spanish club. Arsenal has played … as many as 16 matches since then.
The journalist reveals what the situation of Jakub Kiwior looks like. Disturbing words
The Polish representative already had problems with regular play last season. The fact that Arsenal brought Riccardo Calafiori in the summer only worsened his situation. It seems that the 25-year-old currently has no chance to break through to the basic composition both on the left defense and in the middle of the defensive, which was confirmed by Dave Seager from Gunnerstown.com. Not only that, he revealed why it looks like this.
– There are two reasons why Kiwior doesn't play. First of all, Gabriel Magalhaes was recently the best player of Arsenal. He stabilized the form at a high level. In the past months he took more responsibility even from William Saliby. This is the name from which Arteta's coach begins to determine the composition – he donated to WP SportoweFakty. As for the left side, apart from Italian, the trainer also began to focus more often on 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly.
– The role of the left defender is crucial for building actions in the ARTETY team. Kiwior offers less than his competitors in this respect – he explained. The runners -up of England did very well in the league phase and directly advanced to the 1/8 final of the Champions League. Now they will face PSV, which in the previous round sensationally threw off Juventus.
– The Champions League is Arsenal's main priority. Therefore, I think Arteta will put up his strongest “eleven”. Assuming that Lewis -Skelly is the first choice in the position of the left defender, Calafiori from the reserve bench can secure two places on the defensive on the left – he announced, hinting that the Pole will probably sit the next match on the bench.
Kiwiora's contract expires at the end of June 2028. Therefore, if he thinks about a regular game and vocations to the Polish national team, he should change the employer in the summer. It's no secret that he has already aroused great interest of Italian bands that remember him from performances for Spezia. This group included, among others Juventus, Bologna or SSC Napoli.
