Arsenal have been working with throw-in coach Thomas Gronnemark, according to the Sun. Arsenal have built a reputation for being dangerous at set-pieces under manager Mikel Arteta, and the Emirates Stadium club want to keep improving. The Gunners have now employed the services of Gronnemark, who once worked with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. The 50-year-old is helping Arsenal to improve their long throws, and he knows his onions having once held the world record for the longest throw-in at 51.33m.
Gronnemark works on a freelance basis and has been consulting with Arsenal this season. He has also been teaching the Gunners quick throw-ins, and while clubs like to keep their work with him secret, it has been revealed that the Dane has also worked with Celta Vigo and Japanese club JEF United Chiba this season. Gronnemark also used to work with Danish top-flight clubs FC Midtjylland and AC Horsens and will now look to help improve Arsenal at their throw-in game.
The Gunners have already tasked Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori with taking their long throws, and they could soon start scoring from them regularly.
