Former Arsenal academy striker Mika Biereth is tearing up Ligue 1, scoring 13 goals in 15 games for Monaco since January and helping them secure a Champions League spot.
The 22-year-old, who left Arsenal last summer after loan spells, has outscored every Arsenal player in that period, with only Mbappe netting more in Europe’s top leagues.
While Arsenal struggle for goals and a trophy, Biereth, who never played for the Gunners’ first team, is thriving.
He credits his varied loan experiences for his rapid adaptation at Monaco. Arsenal believe the move has benefited all parties, allowing a young player to succeed.
The Gunners’ current lack of a consistent striker has led to questions about whether Biereth could have made a difference.
However, Biereth is focused on his success in Monaco, stating, “I’m really happy here… and we have just secured Champions League football.”
