Arsenal defender Krystian Bielik has joined Birmingham City on loan from Arsenal for the remainder of the season, the club announced on Tuesday.
Bielik, 19, is a highly-rated defender for the Gunners, but he has struggled to break into the first team and should get more opportunities to play regularly with the Championship side.

The 19-year-old joined Arsenal from Legia Warsaw during the January window in 2015 for an undisclosed fee that was reportedly in the neighbourhood of £2.4 million.
Bielik, who has been described as having "all the qualities and ingredients to be a top-level centre-back" by Arsene Wenger in the past, will be eligible to play against Fulham at the weekend having made just two appearances for the Gunners since arriving in January 2015.
