Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu insists he is never bothered by rumours he has cheated on his age.

The 24-year-old has often been accused of falsifying his age due to his immense physique.

Badu was part of the historic Ghana U20 team that clinched the FIFA U20 World Cup back in 2009.

He is now a regular member of the Black Stars but is constantly confronted with allegations of cheating on his age.

But the Udinese star in an extensive interview with Metro TV insists he is not bothered by these allegations.

“Never. What can I even say?” he said.
“Just be free and play my football. Maybe because of my strength and the way I run tirelessly on the field.

“Or maybe because of my intelligence they don’t believe a young man can be that good.

“I am a village boy, I worked on the farm and all that so that shows in the way I play.”
