The 22-year-old, who was Arsenal's second January signing following Leandro Trossard’s move from Brighton, has been hard at work at the training ground.

At London Colney, the Poland international Kiwior has broken several club records, reports LondonWorld, including the fastest short sprint, highest agility jump and standing spring record.

It was Hector Bellerin who broke Theo Walcott’s 40-metre sprint record by 1/100th in 2015, tallying a time of reaching 40 metres in 4.41 seconds.

Kiwior, who started every game for his country at the World Cup in Qatar, joined Arsenal from Serie A side Spezia over the winter window - while the same publication state that the 22-year-old is already making a huge impression on his team-mates.

During the window, Mikel Arteta had wanted Mykhailo Mudryk and Moises Caicedo but missed out on both players. He was, however, able to bring in Trossard and Jorginho, with the latter signing on Deadline Day from rivals Chelsea.

Arsenal's missed targets

Fabrizio Romano said that the Gunners did have another midfielder on their list - Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad.

“Martin Zubimendi is one of the players Arsenal also considered for their midfield, but Jorginho was a good option and they decided to proceed for him because Mikel Arteta is big fan and wanted Jorginho when the Moises Caicedo deal collapsed,” Romano told Caught Offside.

The Italian also mentioned Edson Alvarez, who plays for Ajax and has been linked with a number of Premier League sides before.

“I’m aware Edson Alvarez has also been linked with Arsenal and other clubs, but at the moment it’s completely quiet.”

Arsenal remain at the top of the Premier League table and are enjoying a tremendous season where they could earn their first title in 19 years.
