Further evidence - and perhaps the most concrete yet - has emerged that should settle the argument once and for all over the age of Renato Sanches.
Guy Roux, the legendary French coach, caused a stir earlier this week after claiming the Portugal and Bayern Munich midfielder was at least “23 or 24”.
This prompted Sanches to hit back at the 77-year-old. "I grew up in Portugal, I spent 10 years at Benfica, how can I be 25?” the talented teenager, who has starred at Euro 2016, was quoted as telling Sapo Desporto by AS. “There is no logic to what some people say."
