Arsenal recall Mika Biereth from Motherwell loan

"This is hugely disappointing and a decision that is completely out of our hands," manager Stuart Kettlewell said.

"Mika has made a huge impact in his time here and has been well loved by the supporters. Despite this news, his loan has been a major success for player.

"He'd had a loan spell abroad where he didn't enjoy his time. That has been the opposite here and you can see by the amount of goals and assists, he's developed well.

"The coaching staff have done an excellent job here in working with Mika and clearly, with interest in the player rising, we have gave him a platform and exposure."

Biereth added: "I just want to say thank you to everyone at the club and the supporters for the last six months.

"I've loved every minute of my time in Scotland and felt like I built a real connection with everyone. I wish the club and players the very best for the rest of the season."
