The coach emphasised how big the club was and wished me luck, Kiwior said in an interview with Laczy Nas Pilka in his native Poland, when asked about his last talk with Arteta.
I am calm over it because what we have decided for him for the first few months is happening. When we have to give him games, whether it is in the Youth Cup or with the under-21s or with us, he has that. He has a lot of exposure in training with us, too.

Having star turns such as Havertz, Madueke and now degaard succumb to long-term injury is a reminder of the risk of being derailed, but it does feel like we've never been better equipped to cope with the slings and arrows.

After a Video Assistant Referee review ruled El Hadji Malick Diouf had brought down Jurrien Timber inside the box, Saka celebrated his 200th league appearance by blasting his 67th-minute spot kick past Alphonse Areola for the forward's second goal of the season.
