Speaking during his unveiling, Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the club bolstering his options.

"It’s great that Jakub is joining us. He’s a young versatile defender who has shown huge potential and qualities with Spezia in Serie A, and also at the international level with Poland," as quoted by the club's website.

He becomes the second January arrival after Leandro Trossard joined from Brighton.

Fabregas' stance on Trossard

Sports Brief has reported that former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has praised Trossard and revealed what he will offer to the Gunners and also advised Arteta on moving forward in the transfer market

Arsenal paid £27m for the 28-year-old Belgian after missing out on £88m Mykhailo Mudryk, and he made his debut off the bench against Manchester United.

Fabregas was full of praise for the former Brighton man in his cameo against Manchester United and said he is better than what people think he is.
