Mikel Arteta praises former Motherwell loanee Mika Biereth

Mika Bireth, who was on loan with Motherwell from Arsenal earlier in the season, has caught the eye of Mikel Arteta. So much so that Fabrizio Romano believes that, under the Spaniard's watch, he could be given a chance to shine in the Gunners' first team next season. However, he also stressed that it is 'too early to say' at this stage.

Speaking to CaughtOffside, Romano said: "Mika Biereth – This young Arsenal striker is doing very well on loan this season, but it’s still early to say if he can feature in Mikel Arteta’s first-team plans. I still believe he needs some regular game time to develop and grow; Arsenal will take these kinds of decisions in June, not now."
