Arsenal are still looking for further reinforcements at centre back and left wing, but Sherwood believes the champions already have more than enough quality to retain their title this season. ‘I think Arsenal are still the team to beat,’ he told Metro via NetBet Sport. ‘What was missing over the last three years was them to actually get over the line and win it and have that swagger of knowing they’ve done it and not that pressure.
