Adebayo Akinfenwa now has nine goals in 2017, the same as Zlatan Ibrahimovic. So how do the two compare?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Wycombe striker Adebayo Akinfenwa have both scored nine goals in 2017 - and the pair have more in common than you might think.

'The Beast' still has some catching up to do to reach the Manchester United man's tally for the campaign as despite his recent scoring streak he's still 10 behind Ibrahimovic.

Both strikers are defying their age to have stand-out seasons - Akinfenwa is 34 while Ibrahimovic is a year older at 35.

Ibrahimovic is of course known for his height, at six foot, four inches tall, but Akinfenwa is known for his strength.

He reportedly weighs 16 stone - although the Wycombe website list him as 13 stone, seven pounds - and can bench press nearly twice his body weight.
