Speaking of her visit to Melwood, the new Liverpool forward said: “It’s a real pleasure
to have been invited down to Melwood to meet Kolo and watch the first
team train. It is fantastic to see the players train at close quarters
and I have found today a privilege.
“We are currently preparing for the upcoming Women’s Super League season so to be able to come to watch the first team on my day off is extremely beneficial.
“Since joining the Club I have been overwhelmed by the messages of support both myself and the team have received, which highlights what a massive Club this is.”
The Super Falcons striker also spoke of her excitement as her first season wearing the famous red shirt adding; “I cannot wait for the season to start. Although we have played quite a few pre-season friendlies, there is nothing better than playing competitively and I am really excited about my first season in England.
“Having spoken to a few of the other players, I know that the Liverpool supporters are amongst the best in the country and I hope that we get their fantastic backing throughout the 2015 season.”
The FC Robo product is expected to be a pivotal for Nigeria at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.
