About the English language thing: It's taught in most schools in Poland and thanks to the Polish labourer exodus to the UK 20/25 years ago, many Poles are fluent along with their children. Language will not be a problem.
Keeping him away from those hot Polish women might be though 😉

Download FotMob and you can access the highlights through there.
Find Lechia Gdansk through the search function, or like myself you can search for Alex Paulsen and click on the latest match played (should be a list of them) and it will come up with the match summary, along with the highlights video up the top somewhere there.
Couldn’t have done any better on those goals - first was an absolute rocket of a scissor kick, second was a perfectly placed one-on-one finish after a defensive breakdown, and was sent the wrong way on the penalty for the third.
Getting a ton of plaudits online. One tweet saying he’ll “play for many years in the Premier League”
Yep, plenty of other positions, others have had an opportunity to strut their stuff and put their hand up.
Alex hasn’t really had the same opportunities and I suspect was disadvantaged because he is in Baz’s eye line all the time at AFC.
This position is never substituted in the game and even if you are a Max lover, at the very least getting him on the field with the usual suspects in defence could well be crucial at some point.
Deep down I think most also want him to be the number one come the World Cup.
Alex had made no errors there. Or at least none that have made the highlights. That’s an enormously valuable quality- reliability. Everything you’d ’expect a goal keeper to do’ he’s done there. And made a couple of very good saves as well. That’s the kind of performance that can frustrate opposition.
The other keeper has made two amazing saves, but also let in two soft goals. And if you think of the FCK goal keeper too, against Silkeborg.
Consistency of reliable performances is surely something that gets you noticed quickly.
Looks like Paulsen made the right move going to Gdansk. Starting every game and playing well. Must be fun playing in front of big passionate crowds like that.

And he's getting used to the grounds for the forthcoming International.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!
Gdansk is genuinely beautiful, along the waterfront in the old town would give Copenhagen and Amsterdam a run for their money for how picturesque it is.
It has a rough reputation from decades prior, although their ultras (as MrSmiis pointed out earlier) are fudgeing terrifying - that could be applicable to many teams in the Ekstraklasa though. Will certainly be a sharp comparison to a few feverites calling him a wanker, that's for sure.
I’m late to this, but Gdansk is a fantastic city. It’s very beautiful, peaceful, high quality of living if you’re making decent money.
