Lazio have threatened legal action against those who have questioned the legitimacy of the age of their 17-year-old Cameroonian player Joseph Minala.

The Italian side stated that his birth certificate is "absolutely legitimate".

Lazio added: "We reserve the right to take action against those responsible for the protection of the good name of the company and the footballer."

The midfielder also issued a statement via the club's website denying he told an African website he was 41.

He said: "I have read the alleged statements posted on the website senego.net in which it says I confessed my real age which was different to what was stated in my [official] documents.

"They are false statements that have been attributed to me by people who do not know."

Minala joined the Rome club last summer and recently played for them in the Viareggio Cup youth tournament.

:joker: wtf

Maybe hes just lived a hard life

they grow up so quick these days

Lazio didn't think it was weird when he was driving himself to his Under-13 matches?

Kanu still claims to be 37, so let this guy pretend for a couple more years yet.

There's no way this guy is 17. :crazy:

His the youngest 17 year old that I've ever seen.
