African Footballer of the Year Asisat Oshoala has signed for reigning FA WSL 1 champions Liverpool Ladies.
The explosive 20-year-old forward joins Matt Beard’s side from Nigerian Women’s Championship title winners, Rivers Angels.
Oshoala was one of the stars of last year’s U-20 World Cup in Canada, finishing as the tournament’s top goalscorer as Nigeria finished runners-up to Germany.
Asisat joins Liverpool off the back of winning the double with former side Angels in her native Nigeria.
Speaking of her move to Liverpool, Asisat said: “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.
“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.”
