Agbonlahor shared his thoughts on the transfer rumors surrounding Arsenal and Vinicius on talkSPORT.

According to several media reports, Vinicius is close to renewing his contract with Real Madrid, which means his transfer to Arsenal has failed.

Agbonlahor said: "Arsenal fans are really being unrealistic. They do have hope, but it's like when I was younger, I sent a direct message to Rihanna asking if she wanted to go on a date at Bullring Shopping Centre in Birmingham. Arsenal thinking they have a chance to sign Vinicius from Real Madrid is on the same level.

"Arsenal usually only sign Real Madrid players at the end of their careers when their performance has declined. That's just how Real Madrid is. Unless you can offer absolutely insane wages, no player will voluntarily leave Real Madrid. I don't see Vinicius joining the Premier League; there's no team that would be attractive enough for him."

Discussing Arsenal's efforts further, Agbonlahor said: "I have to say, it's a very bold attempt. But this was always going to be difficult. Vinicius leaving Real Madrid to join Arsenal just doesn't make sense. Think about Neymar at Barcelona back then—he wouldn't leave Barcelona to join Arsenal. Real Madrid would never let a talented player like that go. His value easily exceeds £100 million, and Real Madrid won't let him leave."

Agbonlahor also stated that if Vinicius joined Arsenal and received a huge contract, it could cause discontent among other players in the squad: "Looking at Arsenal's squad, if he came in and got an outrageous contract, the other players would definitely start asking questions."

When host Ahearn pointed out that Agbonlahor himself played for lower-earning teams in the past, he responded: "Yes, but not to this extent. Arsenal just won the Premier League, and Saka and Rice also see themselves as world-class players."
