Former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor has now questioned why Sandro Tonali would want to join Tottenham after their last two dismal Premier League finishes.Should Spurs secure the services of all the names they have been linked with during this transfer window, it would undoubtedly rank among the most ambitious summers in the club’s modern history.While new signings do not always translate into instant success on the pitch, there is no denying the level of ambition Tottenham are currently showing in the market.The likes of Jan Paul van Hecke, Savinho and Sandro Tonali have all been linked with moves to north London, with one Spurs supporter even suggesting Tottenham could win the league should they land the Newcastle United midfielder this summer.Photo by George Wood/Getty ImagesTottenham links with Sandro Tonali leave Gabby Agbonlahor stunnedOf course, Tonali’s underlying numbers highlight exactly why Tottenham are so keen on bringing him to the club this summer.The Italy international not only possesses impressive passing metrics, but he is also capable of spraying long balls, breaking up play and helping Tottenham sustain pressure throughout matches.However, while many Spurs fans are excited by the prospect of signing Tonali, former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor has questioned why the midfielder would even consider the move.Speaking to talkSPORT, Agbonlahor made it clear he cannot understand why Tonali would entertain joining Tottenham given the club’s recent Premier League struggles, while also questioning whether Spurs can still be considered among England’s elite sides.He said, “Why would Tonali want to go to a top 17 side? They are not a top-six side anymore, Spurs. They are really not.“Back-to-back seasons finishing 17th in the league, I just do not get it and I think he is probably saying to his agent, ‘I beg your pardon, who are interested? Pardon? I thought I was going to a big European side playing Champions League football. Do me a favour, I would not go to Spurs.’” View this post on Instagram A post shared by talkSPORT (@talksport)Roberto De Zerbi could prove key for TottenhamWhile Agbonlahor cannot understand Tottenham’s appeal following their disappointing league finishes in recent seasons, Roberto De Zerbi’s presence is believed to be a major factor behind Tonali’s interest in joining Spurs.Tonali is understood to be keen on the move because of his relationship with De Zerbi, as well as his belief in the wider Tottenham project.That, however, is unlikely to lower Newcastle United’s demands, with the Magpies expected to seek around £100m before agreeing to part ways with the Italian international.READ MORE: What some inside Newcastle think about Sandro Tonali transfer after £100m Tottenham linksThe post ‘Why would Sandro Tonali want to go to a top 17 side?’ – Agbonlahor slams Tottenham transfer appeared first on Spurs Web.
