Mika Biereth is making headlines in Ligue 1 after another stunning performance for AS Monaco.
The Danish striker, once on Arsenal’s books, netted his third hat-trick in just seven games, raising questions about whether the Gunners made a mistake in letting him go.
From Arsenal to Monaco: A Journey of Persistence
Biereth, 22, joined Arsenal from Fulham five years ago but never made a senior appearance under Mikel Arteta.
Despite promising loan spells at RKC Waalwijk, Motherwell, and Sturm Graz, he was deemed surplus to requirements at the Emirates.
Last summer, he secured a permanent move to Graz, but Monaco quickly snapped him up in January after recognizing his goal-scoring prowess.

His goals showcased his sharp instincts—an intelligent back-post finish, a composed volley in a crowded box, and a simple tap-in after a rebound.
After the game, the striker remained humble:
“I approach every match trying to score, and my teammates put me in good positions. Things are going well, but I take it one game at a time.”
Arsenal Fans Left Wondering
With Arsenal facing striker dilemmas, some fans are now questioning whether the club should have given Biereth a chance rather than offloading him for just ÂŁ4 million.
As he continues to shine in France, could the Gunners end up regretting this transfer decision?
