Speaking to presenter Michael Bridges about Fernandes, Costa, 38, said: “We need bodies in that midfield.
“It might take a bit of time to adapt to the Premier League, but I hope and I’m sure that (Jose) Mourinho will give him that chance to start playing.
“When we signed Mourinho, he’s going to attract players young or old and it just goes to show with this youngster.”
Costa then went on to discuss his favourite ever Spurs signings in a segment called ‘Transfer playlist’, with David Ginola, Jurgen Klinsmann, Dimitar Berbatov, Rafael van der Vaart and Gareth Bale all making the cut.
Instead of making the Sky Sports viewers All Rise, Costa was Guilty of leaving those watching completely baffled by why he was there.
One fan said: “You’ve sunk to new lows here guys! A member of a boyband on to discuss transfers! Embarrassing!”
Another commented: “Why on earth is Antony Costa on sky sports news… Never have I cringed as much.”
A third added: “Sky Sports News stooping to another level of s***!! They are now interviewing Antony Costa from boy band “Blue”, talking about Tottenham transfers. Stop the planet, I want to get off!!!”
One quipped: “Sky Sports News scaling new heights in analytical expertise by getting Antony Costa from ‘Blue’ in to discuss what Spurs need in the transfer window.”
Another joked: “I was thinking about scrapping Sky Sports until they pulled this out of the bag. I’ll certainly be taking a half day to race home for Anthony Costa from Blue’s expert f****** insight.”
While one simply stated: “Sky Sports becomes a joke by the day.”
