Arsenal working with specialist throw-in coach Thomas Gronnemark

Arsenal have been working with touches coach Thomas Gronnemark, according to the Sun. Arsenal have built a reputation for being dangerous from set pieces under Mikel Arteta, and the Emirates Stadium club want to continue to improve. The Gunners have now called upon the services of Gronnemark, who previously worked with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. The 50-year-old is helping Arsenal improve their long throws, and he knows his skills having held the world record for longest throw-in at 51.33m.

Gronnemark works freelance and has consulted for Arsenal this season. He has also taught quick touches to the Gunners, and although clubs like to keep their work with him under wraps, it has been revealed that the Dane has also worked with Celta Vigo and Japanese club JEF United Chiba this season. Gronnemark has also worked with Danish top-flight clubs FC Midtjylland and AC Horsens and will now look to help improve Arsenal in their throw-in match.

The Gunners have already tasked Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori with their long throws, and they could soon start scoring regularly with them.
