Adebayo Akinfenwa says he could have Diego Costa

ADEBAYO AKINFENWA has claimed he would 'snooze' Diego Costa if the pair ever squared up on the pitch.

 

The AFC Wimbledon star retained his title as the strongest player on EA sports game FIFA 16 this year, holding off competition from Chris Samba and Wilfried Bony.

And in the wake of Diego Costa's latest on-the-pitch antics against Arsenal's Gabriel, Akinfenwa has admitted he would win if they ever came to blows.

 

Speaking at the FIFA 16 launch, he said: "I’m gonna have to keep it real. If it came down to it I’d have to snooze Diego Costa. 

"I like him as a player but there’s only one winner if he comes up against me."

 

However, Costa may have to form a queue, as the strong-man - nicknamed The Beast, has is eyes firmly set on whoever takes his FIFA crown.

He added: “One day it’ll happen, when I retire. Whoever beats me I’ll definitely be calling them out to go toe-to-toe.”
