Despite being knocked out of the Europa Conference League by Lille, Biereth showed his ability to step up on the European stage, netting three times in four games.

Overall, Biereth‘s loan spell at Sturm Graz has been a resounding success, with 15 goals and nine assists between his two loan spells at Motherwell and Sturm Graz. The striker will return to Arsenal with two medals and a wealth of experience, but his future remains uncertain.
