Agbonlahor claims Richarlison is the Premier League’s slowest player

Former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor said that Tottenham striker Richarlison is the slowest player in the Premier League after Spurs’ 1‑1 draw with Leeds United on Monday.

The remark came after a lack‑lustre display in which Tottenham’s attack appeared ineffective.

Speaking to talkSPORT after the match, Agbonlahor argued that the Brazilian international has not contributed enough for Tottenham this season.

“Because watching that game last night, I mean, Richarlison… I’ll put a bet out there.”

“He’s the slowest player in the Premier League. I would bet with anyone that Richarlison is the slowest player in the Premier League.”

“The number of times he ran into (Joe) Rodon, who is not a quick centre‑half – straight in – got the ball out of him.”

“Horrendous performance from him.”

“It was a painful watch, and at times Leeds were in first gear, stepped it up a bit in the last 20 minutes and they should have won.”
