Obafemi Martins: Older Than Advertised?

Newcastlelinks aren't keen to pay Inter Milan's asking price for pacey Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins, because he might be six years older than advertised. Martins is supposedly 21, but it's been suggested he once played alongside Newcastle defender Celestine Babayaro (27) in a Nigerian youth team.

Apparently Newcastle would still be keen to sign Martins (proving they're not age discriminators) but not for the current £10million asking price.

On one hand Martins is unbelievably quick, and does those incredible somersaults when he scores. Surely the hallmarks of a young man. On the other hand, you can see that he's just starting to recede a little around the temples.

Soccer Weblog suggests they split the difference, and agree that Martins is 24.
