Arsenal centre-back Jakub Kivior has spoken about his acquaintance with his team's Ukrainian international Oleksandr Zinchenko.
"I never expected to end up at such a big club (Kivior moved to Arsenal from Italian Spezia in the middle of last season - ed.). I knew about the greatness of Arsenal, but I was struck by how well organised everything is here and how well I was taken care of. From the very first days.
Zinchenko was especially noted for his attitude. It so happened that it was Alex who introduced me to the whole team on my first day here.
I was at the stadium, at the match "Arsenal" - "Manchester United", the day before the first training session with my new team. After the game, Zinchenko was on the pitch waiting for a flash interview and he saw me. He introduced himself and said: "Welcome to Arsenal! Have you already met the guys?". I told him I hadn't and Alex took me into the changing room and introduced me to everyone. I was nervous, of course, but Alex made the meeting very easy. And he even followed me around, making sure I got to know everyone," Kivior said in a comment to the Arsenal press service.
