Tottenham have not obtained the quality at the peak end of the peddle to layer in the peak 4 of the Premier League this season, according to former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor.
After bringing Thomas Frank to the bar from Brentford in the summer season season, Spurs recommended their male in the send abode window via 8 finalizings.
Tottenham had slid into the peak 4 in yesteryear the international violate but their 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday has encountered them drop down to 6th in the Premier League table.
Neither Spurs or Aston Villa peeked specifically unrivaled in the suit in north London and also Agbonlahor infers Tottenham’s deficiency of a peak striker will possibly price them in their proposal to layer within the peak 4.
As shortly as queried if Tottenham will possibly earn the peak 4 this season, Agbonlahor said on talkSPORT: “Zero means! Not after that functionality, not after the Bournemouth functionality at dwelling, not versus Wolves, inadequate as exceptionally exceptionally closely. I merely form at Spurs and also they’ve invested 170 million added pounds.That’s not encompassing the finances for [Joao] Palhinha and also [Randal Kolo] Muani.
“[Xavi] Simons, for me, 55 million, five Premier League games, zero obligations and also one assist. [Mathys] Tel, six Premier League games, one passion and also zero assists. [Wilson] Odobert, 8 Premier League games, zero obligations and also zero assists. Richarlison has scored 3 obligations and also obtained one assist in 8 Premier League games, but zero obligations in his last 4.
“They in fact miss a striker in that box that can assail crosses. [Mohammed] Kudus was gleaning into some amazing positions, suppressing it ago, placing the sphere into the box, but zero-one was in there.
So I think they’re absent out on [Dominic] Solanke, they’re absent out on [James] Maddison and also they’re absent out on [Dejan] Kulusevski. But by trailing them this season, specifically in the Premier League, and also trailing them reside, zero chance of peak 4.”

“It was a strange undercurrent. I recurring, I’ve been to Manchester Metropolis games at the Etihad [that have been] horribly quiet. But this was quiet, friend. It was the fact the players retained on throwing their arms up to the supporters whenever they’d implemented something to amass something from them, but totally nothing was coming at with one voice.”
