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.”
