Having been thrust into our starting line-up ahead of the most important period of the campaign, Jakub Kiwior feels his strong relationship with our fellow defenders has been a key reason for his assured performances in our backline.

The Polish defender stepped up to fill the void left by Gabriel after the Brazilian was ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, and including his early introduction against Fulham he has steered us to six games unbeaten alongside William Saliba, including home and away triumphs against Real Madrid.

The pair haven't lost any of the 11 games they've started at the heart of our defence, and Jakub feels that us because of his friendship with William and the rest of our defenders.
