Jakub Kiwior says he's fulfilling a dream playing for Arsenal in the Premier League.

The young Poland defender is in his second season with the Gunners.

He told arsenal.com: “I've always dreamt of playing in the Premier League.

“I really like this league and this is what I expected. The matches are always hard, difficult and the atmosphere is great. When I was watching the Premier League on TV, I had my expectations, but what I've experienced now met my expectations.

“When I was four years old, my dad took me to my first training session. Of course I didn't think that seriously at that time, however when I was 16 and went abroad, I started thinking about it more realistically."

Kiwior added, “I didn't expect that everybody here would be so willing to help and have a good heart to help, so I was very welcomed in the club.

“Everybody was willing to have a conversation with me, so it's very difficult for me to point out particular players who would stand out from others, but I remember that when I was going to the changing room there was one player who helped and that was (Oleks) Zinchenko.

“I'm very aware that we were leading the Premier League and our goal was to win the Premier League and we didn't succeed, however this year we want to do it."
