Unfortunality, we don't know he's 20 years old. Because in Ghana, no official public records are kept. It really doesn't have anything to do about the people who live there, but about the fact that his country doesn't register such things (really a shame). I see the article I have read some months ago isn't posted in this thread. It is at least an interesting read for a Milanista.

It's Dutch, so I used google translation, but it's quite lot to post, so I better link to my reply from a different forum:

Of course, I hope it's rubbish. But I find it difficult to really believe he is 20. Whatever you think: there is no evidence. If he is really 20 years old, then he really is a high prospect, considering his u20 World Cup. But if he's some years older: he sucked at Frederikstad FK, and his only few good games are against people who are years younger than him. Either a high prospect, or we've wasted another non-EU spot.
