Agbonlahor said about Mount: “He has scored 27 goals in 129 appearances. He is not fantastic, is he? He is not. The stats show that he is not. He is an okay player, but he is not outstanding.”
The pundit added: “Look at Arsenal. Odegaard has got 14 goals this season. Mason Mount has scored 27 in 129 games.
“He is not adding enough to the team to warrant £200,000-a-week new contract. He is not doing enough to warrant a new contract.”
