Arsenal football club bound midfielder, Kelechi Nwakali, has asked his team mate to give him a befitting birthday gift by beating their Burundian U20 counterpart when the two sides clash today in the final leg of the second round of the African U20 Nations Cup qualifiers.
Nigeria will host Burundi at the UJ Esuene stadium in Calabar, as they hope to seal their 1-0 advantage in the first leg of the encounter.
"We are going to play and win our match on Saturday and I’m confident we would celebrate like we did the last time with Samuel Chukwueze when we beat Burundi away."
Nwakali won the FIFA U17 Most Valuable Player in Chile, when he captained the Golden Eaglets of Nigeria to the fifth world cup titles Chile in 2015, and he will be joining the Gunners whom he already secured a pre-contract agreement with earlier this year.
