Arsenal Add Throw-In Specialist Thomas Gronnemark as Arteta Says He 'Doesn’t Know'

The part-time hire targets a blind spot in a team that has yet to score from a throw-in despite leading the league in set-piece goals.

Overview

  • The Dane publicly stated “Yes, I coach Arsenal” on X and posted a photo at the Sobha Realty Training Centre.
  • Coverage describes a freelance consultancy focused on long, fast and clever throws following prior stints with Liverpool and Brentford.
  • After the Chelsea cup win, Mikel Arteta told reporters he didn’t know about the appointment, highlighting a communication gap with the coach’s confirmation.
  • Arsenal have the joint most set-piece goals in the Premier League this season, but none have resulted from throw-ins.
  • Gronnemark is credited with boosting Liverpool’s throw-in retention, and Arsenal have used Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori for long throws this season.
