An African youth footballer has disappeared while his team attended a football festival in Aberdeen. It is understood the 17-year-old told team mates he would not be returning to Ghana with them.

Emanuel Anarfi travelled to the city as a member of the Ghanaian youth team taking part in an international festival of football.

Grampian Police said he was last seen at about 1300 BST on Saturday at the event's venue, Seaton Park.

Officers are anxious to trace the youth, but said there was no real concern for his safety as his disappearance appeared to have been planned.

It is believed he may be trying to travel to London.

The teenager is described as 5ft 7ins tall, of a slim build, and was wearing either a black puffa style jacket or a grey suit jacket.

He was also wearing a green Aberdeen football top and frayed jeans.
