Mika Biereth set for Sturm Graz medical ahead of £4m Arsenal exit | OneFootball

Striker impressed while on loan with Austrian champions

Arsenal are set to bank £4million by selling Mika Biereth to Sturm Graz.

Biereth is moving to Sturm Graz for a club-record fee of £4m, despite having just one year remaining on his contract at Arsenal.

Now that a fee has been agreed for the striker, he is set to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms.

The 21-year-old has been with the Gunners since 2021 after leaving Fulham and the club are making a healthy profit by selling him.

Biereth had been hoping to make the grade at Arsenal but, having struggled for minutes, his sale to Sturm Graz is viewed as a good move for all parties.

The move wraps up a productive week for Arsenal as they also banked around £4m from winger Omari Hutchinson leaving Chelsea for Ipswich as part of a deal worth £22m.

Hutchinson, who came through Arsenal’s academy, left the club in 2022 to join Chelsea - but the Gunners ensured there were sell-on clauses in the deal.

That has led to them receiving around 15 to 20 per cent of Hutchinson’s fee now and it is understood Biereth’s move to Sturm Graz contains a sell-on clause, too.
