Barely 48 hours after joining the English Premier League side, Watford, Samuel Kalu has been heavily taunted on social media over his real age, as several Hornets fans insist he is older than 24, his age, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

The relegation-threatened club announced the signing of the Nigeria winger on a three-and-half- year deal from Ligue 1 outfit Girondins Bordeaux on Wednesday night.

Kalu is the Hornets fourth signing of the January window following the arrival of full-back Hassane Kamara, central defender Samir and midfielder Edo Kayembe.

After he was officially unveiled by the club, with his picture and that of their new manager Roy Hodgson, posted on the club’s Twitter handle, Watford fans took to social media to query the 24-year-old winger’s real age.

A Twitter user MD said, “Is 24 the length of time he’s been at Bordeaux? Because he is NOT 24 years old.”

Jordan Lee wrote, “More Kanu than Kalu. He is definitely not 24.”

Diary_of_a_Disturbed_mind added, “Maybe his English age is 24, in Africa, he’s already a village elder.”Emmanuel Tembo asked, “How on earth is he 24years old?”

“42 or 24 years? There might a mistake somewhere,” Abdul Shakur said sarcastically
Blaine Murphy tweeted, “There’s no way he’s 24! The next one to find out he’s got 4 different birth certificates.”

Another Watford fan Jason Genova added, “You’ve been duped by a fake birth certificate.”

“Lad…you sure he’s 24? Looks older than half the Upper Graham Taylor,” Salbs said.

Gavin Smith said he would love to see Kalu’s birth certificate.

He wrote, “I would definitely ask to see his birth certificate.”

Footballers lie about their real age

But age don't lie

When it's time to hang boots, you don't need anyone to tell you.

Na you go use your hands hang the boots at the corridor of your house

The 24 he claims he is means he will be working for Watford for 24hours...his real age mates in Nigeria maybe traditional rulers or elders in his village.

Make them free the guy, are they his mother?

Samuel Kalu is 24. QED

Hmmm

Does AGE matters people??

Samuel Kalu maybe 48 years or more as they say but, again he plays the football game with passion and achieves for his teams.


Bola A. Tinubu maybe 98 years or more and he has shown Exemplary leadership, support, courage, and wants to rule his Country Nigeria!

Pleaseeeee people, does Tinubu deserve to lead Nigerians as next President?! what do you have to say about this

You don't have to agree with the little I've said

They should free the guy

Age doesn't matter in football

Lol, 24 or 42 does not change the fact that the useless Watford will be relegated this season.

All these fellows doubting his age should calm down. I believe they all will have a rethink after watching his pace with the ball, dancing pass opposition players with ease. Relax till they watch him play like a lad full with enormous energy.

I know this guy right from Jigawa golden stars.Dude has a face laden with acnes,maybe he should try organic cream and try to detoxify his body.His elder brother has same problem with his facials.

Nigerians are toxic joor.Naves, Donnorumma ,Costa all look older than their ages and no one is raising a dust about it.

Bad belle Nigerians.

How can 48ys play active football

PEOPLE SHOULD LEARN HOW TO MIND THEIR BUSINESS. THIS IS HOW THEY RETIRED AUSTINE J.J OKOCHA BY FORCE WITH THEIR MOUTHS.

A 48 year old playing competitive footfall, EPL in this case. He must be a superhuman.

Congratulations Sam, wishing you success in your new Club.
