Gabby Agbonlahor<\/strong> has claimed Brennan Johnson is “not a \u00a350million player” after Tottenham made him their marquee summer signing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Aston Villa striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, suggested the 22-year-old’s finishing does not justify that price tag as of yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson was announced<\/a> as a new Tottenham player late on deadline day (1 September) after completing the switch from Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tottenham\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spurs will reportedly<\/a> pay \u00a347.5million for the Wales international, with a 10% sell-on clause also included in the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forward made 44 appearances across all competitions for Forest last term, netting ten goals and offering up three assists in those outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has already made four appearances this term but is yet to score or assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson can play on both flanks and as a central striker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agbonlahor told Football Insider<\/strong>\u2019s Ewan Kingsbury: \u201cI expect he\u2019ll play through the middle and do a better job than Richarlison.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do like Johnson, but he\u2019s not a \u00a350million player at the moment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHis finishing isn\u2019t there at all just yet – we saw that chance he missed against Arsenal on the opening day.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe has some other decent attributes. He\u2019s quick – but he\u2019s not a top player.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of money, unless Postecoglou is convinced he can improve him quickly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tottenham\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Richarlison has played up front in each of Tottenham’s three Premier League games so far but is yet to find the net in the new campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did, however, score in the League Cup loss against Fulham on Tuesday (29 August).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
