Jakub Kiwior has been recognised as one of Poland’s key players in an article analysing the nation’s current footballing prospects.

AS, Lewandowski’s Last Train

The Arsenal defender, alongside Roma’s Nicola Zalewski and Aston Villa’s Matty Cash, has been highlighted as part of a new core supporting Polish legend Robert Lewandowski, the country’s all-time leading scorer.

While Poland has struggled in recent tournaments—suffering relegation to League B in the Nations League and enduring a lacklustre European Championship—Kiwior’s inclusion in this elite group signals his growing influence on the national team.

His performances in the Premier League have cemented his status as a dependable presence in defence, representing a major league player at a time when Poland seeks to rebuild and regain its competitive edge on the international stage.

Kiwior’s rise also reflects Arsenal’s continued investment in young, high-potential talent, and his development under Mikel Arteta has further strengthened his reputation.

As Poland looks to regain form, Kiwior’s role is set to be pivotal in their defensive stability and broader ambitions.
