Among them, three have represented England at youth level.

The photos reportedly show these players competing in significantly older age groups in their home countries, raising suspicions that some may actually be adults rather than children.

If proven, the scandal could have serious implications for both clubs and the integrity of their academy recruitment processes. /Telegraph/
