"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."
"The earlier conversation, when I asked for the loan, was more difficult. I'd never done this before, but I felt the time had come to speak with him face-to-face. He understood me and supported me."
Arsenal signed eight players this summer: Martin Zubimendi, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Noni Madueke, Cristhian Mosquera, Viktor Gyokeres, Christian Norgaard, Eberechi Eze and Piero Hincapie. The enlarged squad has aided early-season performance but created selection pressures and prompted exit requests. Several senior players left with modest fees while multiple first-teamers went out on loan, offering potential future transfer income. Jakub Kiwior agreed a move to Porto that will be confirmed next summer. Kiwior asked Arteta for a loan in a difficult face-to-face conversation; Arteta emphasised the club's size, wished him luck, and supported the loan. Kiwior was predominantly a backup left-back in 2023/24.
