Turning Net News:

According to British media METRO, former Tottenham coach Sherwood signed for Arsenal in an interview. He suggested that Arsenal sign Ipswich striker Drapp, not those unproven strikers overseas.

Drapp performed well in his debut season in the Premier League. Although the team was eventually relegated, he scored 12 goals and contributed 2 assists, attracting the attention of many giants including Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester United and Arsenal. The 30 million pound termination clause in its contract has made transfer rumors rampant. This week there was news that Drapp is most likely to join Manchester United, but Sherwood believes Arsenal should strive for the England U21 international.

Sherwood took Soldado as an example and pointed out that although some players have brilliant pasts, they may not be able to gain a foothold in the Premier League. Arsenal's youth training is excellent, but players need time to grow. Sherwood thinks Arsenal should reduce risks and sign players who have proven themselves in the Premier League, and Drapp is the "no hesitation" option.

Coincidentally, Ian Wright also holds a similar view, urging Arsenal to find the soon-to-be striker. Wright said that the team paid the price for the mistakes in signing last summer, and the transfer manager Andrea Berta this summer has a heavy responsibility, the team can no longer take risks, and urgently needs players who can play their role immediately. Now, Drapp's future is full of suspense. Whether Arsenal can stand out among many giants and attract them is worthy of the expectations of fans.
