"The mastermind behind those training-ground techniques is Nicolas Jover, who can be seen prowling the technical area whenever a dead-ball situation arises. But he'll soon have company, as the Gunners have recruited Gronnemark, who specialises specifically in throw-ins. The Danish coach is most noted for his work with Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp, from 2018 until 2023, and has also done consultancy work at Brentford. The Bees are currently the most lethal from throw-ins, having scored nine such goals since the start of last season."
"Speaking to BBC Sport last year, Gronnemark said: "Throw-ins are underestimated by coaches, players, commentators and fans as something you should just do and see what happens." While Gronnemark was at Liverpool, their possession from throw-ins went from 45.8% to 68.4%, the latter measure making them the best team in the league at that time based on that metric."
Arsenal have recruited throw-in specialist Thomas Gronnemark to boost throw-in tactics alongside existing set-piece strengths. The squad already features potent corner delivery from Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka and aerial presence from Gabriel, with Nicolas Jover directing dead-ball routines. Gronnemark worked with Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp from 2018 to 2023 and has provided consultancy for Brentford and Trabzonspor. Throw-ins are growing in tactical value, with Brentford scoring nine throw-in goals since the start of last season and more throw-in goals recorded this season than the previous campaign. Liverpool increased possession from throw-ins from 45.8% to 68.4% under Gronnemark.
