Portuguese-based Nigerian starlet Kelechi John has told allnigeriasoccer.com he could celebrate his 20th birthday with teammates today at his Portuguese Primeira Liga club Rio Ave.
The former Plateau United defender has been a mainstay in Rio Ave squad particularly in the Liga Revelacao in Portugal.
He went the distance in Campeonato Nacional matches against CD Feirense, Estoril, Belenenses and most recently in the 5-0 annihilation of Marítimo.
