Bi
Bielik's FM 18 Profile

Hailing from Poland, he started his career at Gornik Konin. He made the move to Lech Poznan in the top division of Poland. He spent three years before he was spotted by Polish giants Legia Warsaw. He was bought for just 9,750 pounds and went played in his first season for their reserve side Legia II.

The same season, 2014/15, he had impressed enough in five first-team games for Legia Warsaw. Arsenal's scouts were quick to pounce on the young versatile defender as they recommended him to the club. He brought in for £2.5 million. Only 19, he has made only two appearances for Arsene Wenger's senior team. Both of those came in the League Cup.

Last season, after impressing in the U23s, Bielik was sent on loan to Championship club Birmingham City in the January transfer window. Bielik played mostly in a back three under Gianfranco Zola who was dismissed with only a few games left in the season. Bielik featured only once under new manager Harry Redknapp and returned to North London having played 10 times for Birmingham.

He is already considered a great prospect in the Arsenal U23s and it might not be a surprise to see him featuring in the first team soon for Arsenal.
