Oshoala Pleased With Arsenal Move
Nigeria women’s national team striker, Asisat Oshoala, has spoken about her happiness at teaming up with (English) Women’s Super League club, Arsenal Ladies.
Oshoala put pen to paper for the Gunners on Friday and was quick to voice her sentiments on completing the move.
The 21-year-old revealed that she was an Arsenal fan from her days as a youngster.
“It feels like a dream come true.
“It was the team I supported when I was small. When I first started playing and watching football, I started supporting Arsenal because I love good football.
“Everyone is happy because it is a very popular club in my country. Having their own player playing for the club is a great thing. Everyone was happy about it - not just my family but football fans around Nigeria," Oshoala told the club’s official website, www.arsenal.com.
Arsenal Ladies kick off their season against Birmingham Ladies in the Women’s FA Cup on Sunday, and Oshoala is hoping to make an instant impact.
“He was talking about the organisation and professionalism of the team. It is getting better each year. The coming years are going to be far better,” she said.
Oshoala made history by becoming the first African to play in the Women’s Super League when she signed for Liverpool Ladies in 2015.
“I can’t wait for the start of the season to happen,” she said. “I’m really eager for that - I just want to show what we have to the fans.
“When I came here last week, I had a very long conversation with Pedro [Martinez Losa] and he told me the goals of the club, what the club has to offer and what the club is looking to do in the future. I think I’m comfortable and happy with the dream of the club.
