Liverpool Signs Asisat Oshoala by Nobody: 1:19pm On Jan 23, 2015
Liverpool Ladies are delighted to announce the signing of
recently crowned African Women's Player of the Year,
Asisat Oshoala.
The FA Women's Super League champions secured the
signature of the highly rated 20-year-old Nigerian
international from Nigerian Women's Championship title
winners, Rivers Angels.
Asisat is an explosive forward who was voted the most
valuable player at the U20 World Cup in Canada in 2014,
where she was the top goalscorer as the Falconets finished
runners up to Germany.
Asisat inspired Rivers Angels to their first league title victory
since 2010 when they beat Pelican Stars to the title as well
as helping her side to clinch the Nigerian Women's Cup.
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.
Speaking of her move to Merseyside, 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."
Ladies boss, Beard, said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to have
signed Asisat as she is one of the world's top young
footballers. 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."
