Arsenal’s head coach, Mikel Arteta, has commented on the club’s reported appointment of Thomas Gronnemark as a new throw-in specialist.
The Gunners are reportedly collaborating with Gronnemark, who previously held a similar position at Liverpool.
As detailed by BBC Sport, the Danish coach will work part-time at the Emirates Stadium, though Arteta refrained from confirming the news during his Friday press conference.
Arteta addressed reporters ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest, during which the discussion included Gronnemark’s potential contributions.

Regarding Gronnemark’s role, Arteta stated, “No comment about it.”
When pressed on improving performance in that area, he said, “We aim to enhance every aspect, every small detail, to become a better team. We have numerous experts around us to assist in this endeavor.”
While some Arsenal fans may find Arteta’s evasiveness notable, it’s understandable that the 43-year-old wishes to keep his strategies under wraps.
