Fans are not sure that Silas Nwankwo is 18 years old after moving to Sweden
The 18-year-old scored 19 goals with eight assists along with Charles Atshimene from Akwa United when they shared the award.
Nwankwo will now continue its development in Sweden after its exploits with Nasarawa United.
He signed a four-year deal until 20225. Since his unveiling, fans have taken to social media and questioned Nwankwo’s age.
Most of the allegations come from some people who claim to have been his colleagues when he attended Enugu State University of Science and Technology.
Here are some of the reactions to his signing on social media
Players from South America and Africa are often accused of falsifying their age to advance their football careers.
Due to insufficient documentation, these allegations are glorified, but there is no other evidence to suggest that Nwankwo is not 18.
