"The Gunners have scored 14 goals from set-pieces in the top flight this season, more than any other side, but have yet to score from a chance created through a throw-in. It is understood that Gronnemark will be working with the Gunners on a part-time basis. The Dane previously worked under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool between 2018 and 2023, and also did consultancy work at Brentford."
""If you are expecting professional footballers to be world-class throwers without coaching then you are pretty optimistic. Generally the standard is quite poor. "A focus on throw-ins can save the life of small clubs, as a technique to survive. "But at the top of the league, it can help with a more fluent style of play. No matter what position in the league, throw-ins are an advantage.""
Arsenal have engaged throw-in specialist Thomas Gronnemark on a part-time basis to improve their threat from throw-ins and set-pieces. The club has scored 14 Premier League goals from set-pieces this season but has not scored from a throw-in since the start of last season. Gronnemark previously worked at Liverpool (2018–2023) and consulted for Brentford, where throw-in effectiveness was notable. Declan Rice is Arsenal's designated long-throw taker this season as the club seeks to exploit lengthy throws into the penalty area. Gronnemark highlights that throw-ins are underestimated and can yield possession and goal advantages at all levels.
