Arsenal defender Jakob Kiwior says he's happy to fight for his place.

The Poland centre-back has played a total of ten games for Arsenal, having arrived in January from Spezia.

Kiwior said, "We have some fantastic players here. The competition is very big. But I am happy that I can compete against such good players.

"Even if I'm not in the starting line-up, I still do my best.

"I'm happy when I can help the team, so I don't see the competition as something bad."

He added, "I still think my favourite position is in the central defence, but it is the coach who decides where and when I play."
