Arsenal Ladies have completed the signing of Nigeria international markswoman, Asisat Oshoala.
The 21 year-old striker spent the 2015 season with Liverpool where she became the first player from Africa to feature in the Women’s Super League. She scored three goals in 12 league appearances for the Reds.
On the international stage, Oshoala has represented Nigeria with distinction at youth and senior level.
In 2014 she was player of the tournament at both the Under-20 World Cup and the African Women’s Championship. She was also named the BBC’s Women’s Footballer of the Year in 2015.
Arsenal manager, Pedro Losa said the capture of the Nigerian will greatly boost the side’s quest for glory.
“Asisat is a fantastic talent and will be a great addition to our squad. She is quick, with excellent feet and has proven she can score goals so it’s very positive she has decided to join us,” said Losa to www.arsenal.com.
Oshoala is expected in Nigeria to join her teammates in preparation for the upcoming 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations (AWCON) first leg qualifying match against Senegal or Guinea on April 04 in Abuja. © supersport.com
