Krystian Bielik impressed in Poland’s 3-2 victory over Belgium in the Under-21 World Cup on Sunday and seemingly won over the naysayers.

The Arsenal man who spent a successful season on loan at Charlton on their way to promotion recently stated he would not return to the Gunners to play under-23 football.

A goalscoring performance at centreback in the youth tournament in San Marino has backed up the 21-year-olds claims and supporters are begin to believe the hype.

Charlton manager Lee Bowyer stated he would be keen to re-sign the versatile Pole who was deployed at the heart of the defence for Sunday's victory.

His performances in League One, where he was used frequently at the base of a midfield diamond, and at the World Cup however have been attracting attention from a host of Championship clubs hoping to take advantage of the Arsenal man’s game time dilemma at the Emirates.

The attention will not help Bowyer or Charlton in their pursuit of signing Bielik with the Club hampered by financial restrictions as investment in playing personnel seems dependent on whether owner Roland Duchatelet will turn a profit.

One thing is for certain however, is that fans who saw Beilik’s display against Belgium have seen the quality Addicks fans saw on 34 occasions last season.
