Jakob Kiwior admits the fans was a key factor in joining Arsenal in January.

The Poland defender signed for the Gunners from Spezia in midseason.

“There were lots of reasons," he told arsenal.com. “The league for one. I knew Arsenal were a huge club and it'd be a big challenge for me, but ultimately, you have to rise to these immense challenges.

“Arsenal are a great club, that was apparent when I saw the training complex, the stadium. Pretty much everything off the pitch is top quality. Also the fans.

“For me, that's something very important. If you're playing at home or on the road and you hear your fans chanting, it really energises and inspires you to give even more. It also puts fatigue or other things to the back of your mind. So, it's crucial for me that the fans are with you and they support you as well as they do here.

“I go into every game with the mindset that I want to win. I think nobody ever likes losing; however, I'm somebody who will do everything to win every game and I'll fight until the very end."
