Tottenham Hotspur’s Christian Eriksen scored past Unai Emery’s Arsenal side in the North London derby last weekend.
Eriksen has under a year left on his contract at Tottenham, and he could leave the North London side for free at the end of the season.
Sherwood was warned the Dane that could be an error, as finding a club better than Tottenham to win trophies at could be tough.
“He’s ran his contract down for a reason. Eriksen wants to leave the football club because he wants to leave trophies,” Sherwood said.
“I believe that’s a difficult task, finding a club better than Tottenham to win trophies.”
But Arsenal have found the funny side in the comments, because of Spurs’s trophy drought.
Tottenham have not won any major silverware since 2008, when they lifted the League Cup title.
And Arsenal supporters think that Sherwood is showing blind loyalty to his former side with what he has said about Eriksen.
Spurs will, of course, argue that although they haven’t won silverware, they look very close to being able to do so.
Tottenham have reached the latter stages of the FA Cup, League Cup and the Champions League in recent years, only to fall just short.
With Tottenham investing heavily in their midfield over the summer, the hope is that they can kick on this term and finally add some silverware to their trophy cabinet, which may encourage Eriksen to pen a new deal.
