French club AS Monaco appeared to aim a cheeky dig at Arsenal<\/a> over their toothless attack after the Gunners’ 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The north Londoners dropped more points in the Premier League<\/a> title race against Forest on at Wednesday<\/a> to all-but end their top-flight trophy hopes.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have recently struggled in attack amid an injury crisis<\/a>, with Gabriel Jesus<\/a>, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli all ruled out and Mikel Arteta forced to deploy Mikel Merino as a makeshift striker.<\/p>\n

Some pundits have questioned why Arsenal took a gamble in the January transfer window<\/a> by not signing a new striker, with many feeling the Gunners needed fresh attacking options even before their wave of injuries.<\/p>\n

With Arsenal struggling for goals, Monaco have pointed fun at the them on social media after signing their former forward Mika Biereth last month.<\/p>\n

‘If you need goals call Mika Biereth,’ Monaco posted on the English language version of their X<\/a> account on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

An Arsenal fan, @AfcBilbo9, responded to the post, which has ranked up over 2.9k likes and 130.2k views, by asking: ‘Can we have him back please, we need a striker right now.’<\/p>\n

Monaco whipped back: ‘We just signed him bro.’<\/p>\n

Biereth joined Arsenal from Fulham in 2021 but the 22-year-old did not make a single senior appearance in his three-year spell at the Emirates.<\/p>\n

Arsenal instead sent Biereth out on loan to Dutch club RKC Waalwijk, Scottish side Motherwell and then Austrian team SK Sturm Graz.<\/p>\n

The Gunners decided to offload Biereth to Sturm Graz permanently last year – but after he hit form – Monaco took a punt on him in January, completing a \u20ac15m (\u00a312.4m) deal for the Denmark youth international.<\/p>\n

Since moving to Monaco, Biereth has massively impressed, registering seven goals across his opening nine matches for the club.<\/p>\n

Biereth produced his second hat-trick in just five Ligue 1 games for Monaco earlier this month in the 7-1 victory over Nantes.<\/p>\n

‘Admin you\u2019re trolling,’ a second Arsenal fan, @AFCOllie49, responded to Monaco’s cheeky post.<\/p>\n

AFTV, formerly known as ArsenalFanTV, posted a crying emoji and wrote: ‘Not now admin, please.’<\/p>\n

‘How much in the summer,’ Arsenal supporter @beingblackie_ asked, suggesting the Gunners should make a bid at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Monaco’s account responded by saying that it would cost ‘a lot’ for Arsenal to bring Biereth back to the Emirates.<\/p>\n

Biereth opened up about his Arsenal exit in an interview with FlashScore<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

‘Of course, I\u2019m sad to have left Arsenal,’ Biereth said. ‘It\u2019s one of the biggest clubs in the world.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
