Wiktoria Kiszkis (born 14 June 2003) is a Polish footballer, who plays as a forward for West Ham United of the FA WSL in England.

Early life

Kiskis was born in Iława, Poland. Her father Michał moved to London in 2004 and he was joined by Kiszkis and her mother Agnieszka the following year.[1] Kiszkis displayed an aptitude for football and was accepted into Arsenal's youth system. In 2018–19 she played 13 times for Arsenal's youth team, scoring 30 goals and serving 23 assists.[2]

Club career

Kiszkis joined West Ham United ahead of their 2019–20 season. She was given a first team debut on 20 October 2019, as a 77th-minute substitute for Kate Longhurst in a 2–2 FA Women's League Cup draw with Tottenham Hotspur.[3] Her first appearance in the FA Women's Super League came on 17 November 2019 at Manchester City, when she replaced Adriana Leon in injury time. Her shot which hit the post was West Ham's best chance of the whole match as they were hopelessly worsted 5–0.[4]

International career

In September 2017 Kiszkis debuted for the Poland women's national under-15 football team, scoring in a 1–1 draw with the Czech Republic.[5] She later captained the Poland women's national under-17 football team.[6] Kiszkis also played for a short time with one of the England Women youth teams
