According to press reports released in Italy, Gambian footballer Yusupha Yaffa has been summoned after he allegedly lied about his age. The African forward was drafted into Milan's youth team, before moving on to earn a regular shirt for the club's under 19 side.
his true age was not to be noticed until social media reports pointed in that direction; this came by way of old schoolmates realizing the player had doctored his age on his Facebook profile, and it wasn't long before people started talking about the footballer's fraud.
According to Gazzetta dello sport, Yaffa claims he lost his documents on a number of occasions, and when he arrived at the immigration office in 2009 in italy, he claimed he was born on the 31st of December 1996, instead of the 14th of November 1987.
This is actually nit the first time Yaffa, will be having dealings with the law,in january 2005, soon after his arrival from Frankfurt, he was accused of raping a girl and was subsequently arrested.
the player has however come out to claim his innocence, during his trial, a number of fiormer trainers and coaches from Milan, including Fillipo Inzaghi, will be present.
It will therefore be interesting to know how possible this player was able to deceive one of the greatest football clubs in history.
