My brother is a sports medical doctor. He actually did pitchside dr duties for some professional clubs. He told me of one instance when a certain player he did a medical for, ahead of signing for a club was supposedly 28 years old but he suggested was likely around 4 years older than that. It should be said that said player was from an African country.

Interesting to see how long Newcastle hang onto Isak.

Newcastle are good but just not sure they can mount a serious title challenge in the next few years.
