Pundit claims Eddie Nketiah would be an upgrade over Rasmus Hojlund.
The Arsenal academy graduate scored three goals against Sheffield United, marking his first hattrick for the Gunners.
Boss Mikel Arteta even handed him the captain’s armband in the second-half of the game.
Nketiah has often been second-choice at best throughout his career but Gabriel Jesus’ injuries has given him plenty of opportunities to shine.
Former Spurs manager Tim Sherwood claims Nketiah is an upgrade over Man United’s summer signing Rasmus Hojlund.
‘I feel sorry for Eddie Nketiah, because people [in general] and Arsenal fans, no matter who it is, they are always asking questions about him and looking what he can’t do,’ Sherwood told Sky Sports.
‘I like to look at what he can do. He can play in a lot of teams. A lot of big teams. You’re telling me this boy couldn’t play for Man United at the moment instead of Rasmus Hojlund?
‘He’s an upgrade on Rasmus Hojlund. [United] spent an awful lot of money on him.
‘For me, Eddie Nketiah is top draw. I think he warrants playing for Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.’
