Youssoufa Moukoko has been caught up in an age storm after an alleged birth certificate was unearthed in Germany.
The Borussia Dortmund star, who holds Bundesliga records as the youngest debutant and scorer, was thought to be an 18-year-old. However, it has been claimed in Germany that a birth certificate allegedly dated for the year 2000 with the name Yousouffa Mohamadou, which was attributed to Moukoko, was discovered last year.
Moukoko, who was named in Germany's squad for the World Cup in Qatar, was born in Yaounde, Cameroon, before moving to live in Germany in 2014, where he was adopted. Austrian news outlet Laola1 has reported that Moukoko's adoptive father had sent the alleged unearthed birth certificate to a journalist.
