Liverpool Ladies sign Nigerian female football star, Asisat Oshoala




20 year old current African Female Footballer of the
year Asisat Oshoala this afternoon Jan. 23rd signed on to Liverpool
Ladies football club. Asisat is the first African to be signed on the
club.

Oshoala was one of the stars of last year’s U20 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.”

Manager 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.
