Arsenal set-piece coach Nicolas Jover negotiated a set-piece goal bonus into his contract amid interest from other clubs, according to The Athletic.
Set-pieces have been a major narrative surrounding Arsenal's season, with the Gunners one of the most dominant from dead-ball situations we've ever seen in the Premier League.
Many have criticised Mikel Arteta's side, despite them sitting at the top of the table, but Arsenal have identified a major strength of their squad and run with it.
The help of set-piece coach Jover has been key to Arsenal's dominance in this area, with the 44-year-old joining the club from Premier League rivals Manchester City.
Arteta certainly won't care how his side finds the back of the net, especially if the end result is them lifting the Premier League title in May.
Nicolas Jover Negotiates Clever Arsenal Clause

Arsenal's set-piece coach, Jover, negotiated a clause in his contract with the Gunners that sees him receive a bonus for every goal scored via a set-piece. Jover has attracted interest from a host of different clubs, but according to The Athletic, the clause negotiated is something that helped convince him to stay at the club.
It's unclear how much Jover is earning per set-piece goal, but it's safe to say his bank balance has certainly improved this season.
The Gunners have scored more set-piece goals than any other side in the Premier League this campaign with 21, so it's safe to say Jover is earning his money.
Arsenal have also scored nine match-winning goals from corners this season. It's been a crucial part of how they play, and despite it being the same since the beginning of the campaign, opposition sides are finding it incredibly difficult to defend.
