£20m Arsenal Player Branded ‘Hopeless’ After ‘Nightmare’ Performance at Euro 2024
Jakub Kiwior, signed by Arsenal for £20 million, faced severe criticism after a disappointing performance for Poland against France at Euro 2024. Polish media labeled his display as a "nightmare," citing numerous errors and a crucial penalty conceded. Despite this, Kiwior remains committed to Arsenal, ready to embrace a backup role and await chances in his preferred central defensive position.
Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior faced harsh criticism following a disappointing performance in Poland's final Euro 2024 match against France. Despite his promising talent and versatility, Kiwior's costly errors drew negative reviews from Polish media.
Polish Media's Verdict on Jakub Kiwior’s Performance vs France
Signed from Spezia in January 2023 for £20 million (Sky Sports), Kiwior has shown great potential as a versatile defender, capable of playing multiple positions. However, his recent display against France highlighted significant shortcomings.
In the first half, Kiwior's careless ball loss nearly resulted in a goal, saved only by Lukasz Skorupski’s quick reflexes. After the break, a needless foul on Ousmane Dembele led to a penalty, converted by Kylian Mbappe.
Kiwior’s Future at Arsenal
Despite his struggles at Euro 2024, Kiwior remains a part of Arsenal’s plans. Though not a regular starter, he made 30 appearances in the 2023/24 season, primarily at left-back. Amid speculation of a potential move, with Juventus expressing interest, TBR Football reported that Kiwior will stay with Arsenal, accepting a backup role and waiting for opportunities in his preferred central defensive position.
