Ex-footballer Odartey Lamptey discovers 3 kids with wife are not his

Former Ghanaian international footballer Nii Odartey Lamptey has revealed that he recently found out that all three children he had with his wife of almost 20 years are not his biological children. He made the shocking revelation in a radio interviewed when asked why he was divorcing his wife.

“...I thought they were my children but upon a DNA test, I got to know that they are not my biological children. The issue is in court so I’m pleading, because it is a legal issue I don’t want to go through so many things, but I am 100% sure that the children are not mine after 20-years of marriage. We had five children but two passed away so we were left with only 3 and they are not mine" The former Aston Villa player told reporters

Meanwhile, his estranged wife Gloria Lamptey (pictured above) is claiming that it was Lamptey who suggested they use artificial insemination after realizing he was infertile. A claim Lamptey denies. A close friend of the former Anderlecht footballer said he'd on several occasions caught his wife cheating on him but stayed with her because of his love for her and the businesses they own together.

The estranged couple are now in court

Iheanacho’s Family Members Want Him To Play For Manchester City

The father of Nigerian wonderkid Kelechi Iheanacho has said the his child will only be signing a deal with Premier League outfit Manchester City.

Iheanacho was named the best player at the 2013 Under-17 World Cup after scoring six goals, including one in the final, as his country triumphed in the United Arab Emirates.

He has since been linked with moves to Porto and Chelsea in his homeland, but his father, James, has claimed that the Etihad Stadium will be his next destination.

“As I am talking to you, I have chosen in my mind that Kelechi is going to Manchester United,” he told Super Sport’s Monday Night Football, before appearing to correct himself: “I have told you that he is going to Manchester City.”

He later confirmed to MTNFootball.com that the player’s family made a joint decision on where he would play in a meeting on Monday night: “We prayed [Monday] and after due consultations with family members, we came up with Manchester City believing he has a future there. That is where he will be uplifted.”

The young striker had been declared missing by his father on Friday after he had left his home in Owerri without alerting his family, but returned early on Monday morning before a decision on his future was made.

James has been integral in his son’s fledgling career, with rumours that he had valued the starlet at €1 million, but he has denied the claims: “No, those people are my enemies. I never said that.”
