Liverpool Ladies sign Asisat Oshoala from
Rivers Angels The reigning Caf Women Player of the Year
becomes the first African to secure a move to any
English Women's Super League outfit By Shina Oludare Jan 23, 2015 15:27:00 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.”
