Adebayo Akinfenwa sends funny tweet turning down Chelsea transfer over Antonio Conte's 'ban on chicken'

Chelsea's search for a new striker may have extended to some surprise targets, but one player they apparently won't be signing is Wycombe Wanderers star and cult hero Adebayo Akinfenwa.

With Antonio Conte demanding more physical options in attack, the current Premier League champions have turned their attention to West Ham's Andy Carroll, Crystal Palace star Christian Benteke and Stoke City's Peter Crouch.

Seeing their need for a target man, one Twitter user suggested they could do a lot worse than making a move for Akinfenwa, but the man himself says he would turn down a move to Stamford Bridge, if only because he wouldn't be able to indulge in his favourite dish.
