In one of his first major interviews, January signing Jakub Kiwior tells Sky Sports about adapting at Arsenal and fighting for a place under manager Mikel Arteta; watch Everton vs Arsenal live on Sky Sports Premier League from 4pm on Sunday; kick-off 4.30pm
"Those two months were important for me. It was a big change. I just tried to be focused in the training sessions and to get settled. The minutes eventually came, so it was a very valuable time."
It was important, too, to make a positive impression on Arteta."He is a player that I really like, that's why I signed him," said the Arsenal manager in May."He has the potential, at his age, to be great." It is an attitude which should serve him well under a manager who strives for constant improvement and the admiration is mutual.
"I was quite surprised that something like this was even possible, that a coach could come up with these concepts to shape our attitude to the game through all sorts of competitions and challenges to focus our minds." Most of Kiwior's appearances so far have come in central defence but his tactical intelligence is such that he has also embraced the task of filling in as an inverted left-back. Back at Spezia, his ball-playing ability even saw him used in central midfield.
