Former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa has singled out Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo as the Premier League forward whose style most resembles his own.
“The guy from Manchester United, Bryan Mbeumo. Haaland no? It’s true, but more of speed. Mbeumo goes more for the challenge,” Costa explained, highlighting the Cameroonian’s tenacity and willingness to engage physically on the pitch.
While acknowledging Erling Haaland’s pace and scoring prowess, Costa emphasized that Mbeumo’s combative approach and instinct for duels make him a closer reflection of the way he used to play. The endorsement has sparked conversation among fans and pundits, many eager to see Mbeumo continue developing in a style that Costa clearly admires.
Costa’s remarks also underline the growing recognition of Mbeumo in England, not just as a goal-scorer but as a player with grit and presence reminiscent of one of the Premier League’s most feared forwards of the past decade.
