Arsenal have appointed long-throw specialist Thomas Gronnemark as they look to firepower their Premier League title challenge this season. The Danish coach previously worked as Liverpool’s throw-in specialist under Jurgen Klopp between 2018 and 2023, during the trophy-laden latter years of the German’s tenure. However, Arsenal are one of just eight teams yet to score from a throw-in this season. In his first season, Liverpool surged from 18th to first in the Premier League for possession retention from throw-ins, before winning the Champions League that campaign and securing their first league title in 30 years the following season. Arteta continues to seek marginal gains as he attempts to end Arsenal’s 22-year wait for a Premier League title.
