Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministry, Port Harcourt has identified fake age declarations as the major problem of Nigerian footballers.

The clergy, who spoke during the church’s mid-week service on Wednesday, said unlike the 37-year-old Manchester United player, Ronaldo, some Nigerian players who claim to be 32 are already tired.

He alleged that a footballer who is a twin claimed to be 31-year-old when his twin brother celebrated 42 years.

He said, “Most Nigerian footballers keep reducing their age and when they say that they are 32, they can’t run again but Ronaldo is still running at 37. They can’t run again because that is not their true age, the man is already in his 40s.

“There was a Nigerian footballer I won’t call his name, he is a twin from his name you will know he is a twin, they have the way they call their names.

“Now, his own twin brother was already 42 when he was 31, so I wonder how they were twins so he retired early at 31, 32 he retired, because there was no way he could run, Messi mate cannot play football again”.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
