10. Diego Costa (Chelsea)
Actual age – 26
Age he looks – late 20’s/early 30’s
It’s hard to believe that the former Atletico Madrid striker is only 26 years of age, what’s even more shocking is that he is the same age as Theo Walcott!
9. Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich)
Actual age – 31
Age he looks – early 40’s
More to do with his lack of a hairline than anything else, which normally happens the older you get, but for the Dutchman it has happened already!
8.Romelu Lukaku (Everton)
Actual age – 21
Age he looks: late 20’s
The Belgian does not turn 22 until a couple weeks before the end of the season.
7. Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)
Actual age – 28
Age he looks – early 20’s
The best goalkeeper in the world does not look like a man who is two years shy of turning 30, and take into consideration that he is also the same age as Wayne Rooney…
6. Jeremy Toulalan (AS Monaco)
Actual age – 31
Age he looks – mid 40’s
It is more to do with the Frenchman’s grey hair and the fact that he retired from international football at the grand old age of 27…
5. Theo Walcott (Arsenal)
Actual age – 26
Age he looks – late teen/early 20’s
Don’t let the beard fool you, Walcott, who turned 26 this week, doesn’t look too dissimilar to when he joined Arsenal in January 2006.
4. Tony Hibbert (Everton)
Actual age – 34
Age he looks – late 40’s
It seems as if the Toffees full back has been playing forever, and that’s why you could be forgiven for thinking he’s much older than just 34.
3. Ashley Young (Manchester United)
Actual age – 29 (yes 29!)
Age he looks – early 20’s
Very hard to believe that the Man United winger will turn 30 in the summer – one would assume he still gets asked for ID on nights out.
2. Javier Hernandez (Real Madrid – on loan from Man United)
Actual age – 26
Age he looks – early 20’s
The Mexican has even tried to grow a little facial age in attempt to look older, not fooling anybody…
1. Joseph Minala (Lazio)
Actual age – 18 (not a joke)
Age he looks – late 30’s
Sometimes a picture speaks 1000 words, and this is certainly the case. When this image of Minala broke late last year, many believed is was some sort of a practical joke….but it wasn’t…he is still a teenager, two years younger than Raheem Sterling!
