Arsenal coach Pedro Losa said he is delighted to sign the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup’s Most Valuable Player.

“Asisat is a fantastic talent and will be a great addition to our squad. She is quick, with excellent feet and has proven she can score goals, so it’s very positive she has decided to join us,” Pedro had remarked on the arrival of the Nigerian.
