Asisat Oshoala set to join Arsenal Ladies

Super Falcons forward, Asisat Oshoala, is all but set for a move to Arsenal Ladies after Liverpool Ladies confirmed “reluctantly accepting” a transfer bid for her. 

According to BBC, the Gunners have activated a release clause in the Nigeria international’s contract with the Reds. The 21-year-old will now hold talks with Pedro Martinez Losa’s side but the move is subject to receiving a work permit for the 2016 campaign. 

Asisat was named the BBC Women’s Footballer of the Year in 2015, Oshoala joined Liverpool from Port Harcourt side Rivers Angel FC ahead of the 2015 WSL campaign, scoring three goals in 12 league outings last season. However, the forward did not fulfill huge expectations of her at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, where the Falcons crashed out at the group stage with a draw and two losses.
