WHAT HAPPENED?
Monaco are relishing every moment that striker Mika Biereth spends on the pitch, as the England-born forward has already scored in double figures in Ligue 1, including three hat-tricks, in his first seven games. Arsenal must be regretting letting him go for just £4 million, but Les Rouges et Blanc went a step further by engaging in Twitter banter, posting a photo of Biereth with the caption "Gunners on fire."
WHAT MONACO SAID
Monaco took to their official Twitter account to post a photo of Biereth with the caption: "Goals, goals and more goals for Mika! Our gunners are on fire!"
AFPTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Biereth joined Arsenal's youth academy from Fulham in the summer of 2021 before spending a season on loan at RKC Waalwijk in the Eredivisie. Another loan move followed, as the young striker was acquired by Motherwell for the first half of the 2023-24 season. Biereth spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Sturm Graz, before permanently signing for them for just £4 million. In January 2025, Monaco completed his signing for just €13 million, and the rest is history, at least until now.
DID YOU KNOW?
Biereth is the first player in the last 75 years to score 10 goals in his first seven Ligue 1 appearances. He also became the first player in the previous 70 years to score two hat-tricks in his first five Ligue 1 games.
AFPWHAT NEXT FOR MIKA BIERETH?
The 22-year-old will be eager to add to his Ligue 1 tally when Monaco travel to Toulouse on Friday, March 7. His international future is also in the air, as he can choose to represent one the following four countries: Denmark, Germany, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and England. Currently, he features for Denmark at the Under-21 level.
