Arsenal have engaged the services of throw-in expert Thomas Gronnemark.
Mikel Arteta's side are already known for their strategic approach to set-pieces, particularly corners.
The delivery from Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, paired with the unstoppable force of Gabriel, makes their routines nearly impossible to defend.
Who is new Arsenal man, Thomas Gronnemark?
The mastermind behind those training-ground techniques is Nicolas Jover, who is always present in the technical area during dead-ball situations.
However, he’ll soon have assistance, as the Gunners have hired Gronnemark, a specialist in throw-ins.
The Danish coach is renowned for his work with Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp from 2018 to 2023 and has also consulted for Brentford.
Brentford have become the most effective team regarding throw-ins, scoring nine goals from such situations since the start of last season.
Throw-ins are resurging as a creative opportunity, with five more throw-in goals scored this season than the total for the previous campaign.
Said Gronnemark previously: "Throw-ins are underestimated by coaches, players, commentators, and fans; it's often seen as something to just get through."
During his time at Liverpool, the team's possession from throw-ins improved significantly, making them top performers in this aspect.
Although some may scoff at this unique recruitment, Gronnemark's track record indicates it could prove beneficial.
Arsenal, currently aiming for league success under Arteta, seem determined to enhance their game in every possible way.
