Sherwood: Arsenal should not sign unproven overseas striker, Drapp is a good choice

May 13th According to the British media METRO, Sherwood talked about the topic of Arsenal's signings in an interview.

Former Tottenham coach Sherwood suggested that Arsenal sign Drapp instead of an unverified striker overseas. Drapp performed very well in his Premier League debut season at Ipswich. Although he failed to help the team relegate, he scored 12 goals and contributed 2 assists, winning the love of many fans. Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester United and Arsenal are all closely watching Drapp's performance, and the 30 million termination clause in his contract has intensified the transfer rumors about him.

This week it was reported that Drapp is most likely to join Manchester United, despite having had contact with Manchester City. However, Sherwood believes Arsenal should go all out to win the England U21 international to join North London.

When talking about Arsenal's connection with players such as Cesco and Yorke, Sherwood said: "Some players don't have guarantees. Soldado is a good example. He is the holder of goal record in Spain, but he is struggling at Tottenham. Arsenal has a great youth training system, but you have to wait for them to grow, they can't play every game. I like Nvanelli's attitude, he was unhappy on the bench because Saka is back. He wants to play, and I appreciate that, he will become a superstar in the club."

Sherwood believes that in order to reduce the risk, Arsenal should sign players who have proved themselves in the Premier League. He believes that signing Drapp for £30 million is an option that "no hesitation" is. In response, Sherwood said: "It's an obvious choice for me. Drapp is a developing player and he has proved himself that this price is nothing in this era." In addition, Ian Wright also holds a similar view, urging Arsenal to find a forward with imminent combat rather than looking at the long-term future. In response, Wright said: "We paid the price for the signing mistakes last summer. This summer, Andrea Berta will be in charge of the transfer, which will be a key summer. We can't take risks anymore, we need a player who can play immediately."
