Mjallby AIF from Sweden have signed a player from Nigeria they claim is 18yrs old.
Football Manager has him down as 24
FM22 has him down as 17.
There are other bits of information surfacing that he is in fact in his mid 20's.

Must be some sort of a birth certificate somewhere which will banish any uncertainty.

Alexis Sanchez comes to mind ....he looked about 30 when he played for Arsenal.
Apparently he's only 33....closer to 43 i reckon!
