Nwankwo Kanu is only 32. LOL!





African players have a history of developing later than Europeans (Drogba didn't get a contract until he was 22) and playing for longer, so they lie about their age so as to not get passed over by scouts.





Also I think there are circumstances were it can be easier to migrate to a new country if you claim to be a minor - that's what (allegedly) happened when Freddy Adu went to the USA.Are there cases of false age declaration in european football?
yes this usally happens with african players eg.martins,mido etc


this usally happens because they player for a younger age group and get scouted so just keep lying.
Yeah, a lot of Africans are of dubious age. Kanu, for instance.
