Arsenal may be six points clear at the top of the Premier League, but there is no sense of complacency inside the club.
If anything, the mood around north London suggests a team that is still searching for extra edges. They are fully aware of how fine the margins can be in a title run-in.
Also, Arsenal are in the contention to win all four major trophies this season. They are already playing in the Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea.
Furthermore, they progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup after winning agaist Portsmouth by 4-1. Besides, the Gunners are also leading the Champions League table.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have built a reputation for obsessing over detail. Moreover, that approach has now extended to another niche area of the game.
According to The Times, the Gunners have brought in renowned throw-in specialist Thomas Gronnemark to work with the squad in a consultancy role.
Gronnemark is a familiar name in elite coaching circles. He previously worked with Liverpool during their title-winning period under Jurgen Klopp, where his impact went far beyond long throws.
However, his philosophy focuses heavily on ball retention, tempo control, and using throw-ins as structured attacking platforms rather than restarts.
Arsenal’s interest is hardly surprising. The Gunners are already among the most effective set-piece sides in the league, largely due to the influence of set-piece coach Nicolas Jover.
Furthermore, goals from throw-in situations have risen across the league this season, making the timing of this appointment particularly relevant.
Meanwhile, Arteta remains determined to avoid late-season slips that have haunted Arsenal in previous campaigns.
The club’s unbeaten run has quietly grown, and although the recent draw against Liverpool have stalled the momentum, belief inside the camp remains strong.
By refining even the smallest details, Arsenal are making it clear they are not leaving anything to chance. In a title race that could be decided by inches, mastering throw-ins may yet prove decisive.
