Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell says he has been left ‘majorly disappointed’ by Arsenal’s decision to recall loan striker Mika Biereth.
Biereth has been recalled by his parent club in favor of another loan move elsewhere, possibly Sheffield Wednesday, to leave the Scottish side without their top goalscorer.
The Denmark Under-21 international provided six goals and five assists in 14 Scottish Premiership appearances. The 20-year-old initially joined the club on a season-long loan, having been at RKC Waalwijk the previous campaign.
Kettlewell said: “Mika has been recalled. It’s been a difficult one for us over the last 24 hours. It’s a major, major disappointment.
“This was a little bit unexpected. The conversation was that Mika would stay here until the end of the season just last week unless something really big came on the table for Arsenal that they couldn’t turn down.
Biereth has been in impressive form for Motherwell so far this season, having scored six goals and provided five assists in 14 Scottish Premiership appearances. The 20-year-old initially joined the club on a season-long loan, having been at RKC Waalwijk the previous campaign.
Arsenal are yet to confirm their decision to recall Biereth, but the Sheffield Star is reporting that the striker could be on his way to Championship side Sheffield Wednesday. Wednesday is in the midst of a relegation battle under manager Danny Rohl, who is keen to strengthen his squad.
Should the Biereth deal go through, he will be the second forward Wednesday has signed on loan this month following the addition of Ike Ugbo.
