The reigning Caf Women Player of the Year
becomes the first African to secure a move to any
English Women's Super League outfit
English FA Women's Super League champions, Liverpool
Ladies have secured the services of Super Falcons star
Asisat Oshoala from Nigeria Women’s Premier League side,
Rivers Angels.
The 2014 African Women Player of the Year inspired the
Super Falcons to win the 2014 Africa Women Championship
in Namibia as well as help Rivers Angel lift the Nigeria
Women Premier League and Federations Cup titles.
Matt Beard's Liverpool are currently preparing for
forthcoming WSL and Champions League campaigns,
having retained their league title on the final day in 2014.
"Since I began my football career I have always dreamt of
being a professional footballer, so to be able to join the
reigning Women's Super League champions is absolutely
fantastic,” Oshoala said of her move to Merseyside.
"Liverpool Ladies are a massive club, who have some
fantastic players who I believe can help to develop my
game to the next level.
"It was also a big incentive to be able to play in the UEFA
Women's Champions League, which is a huge competition
and one I'm confident we can do well in,” she concluded.
Ladies boss, Matt Beard also expressed her delight
following the capture of the Nigeria youth prodigy.
"I'm absolutely thrilled to have signed Asisat as she is one
of the world's top young footballers,” said Beard.
"Asisat proved in the U20 World Cup what a top-class
talent she is and this signing is a big coup for us.
"The Women's Super League continues to improve year
after year, so it is vital that we strengthen our squad
following last season's successful title defence. This
signing is definitely one that the supporters can be
extremely excited about.”
