NIGERIAN-born American striker Chioma Ubogagu has joined Arsenal Ladies from the Stanford University team bringing to two the number of Nigerian players plying their trade in the English Women's Super League.

Ms Ubogagu who featured for Team USA during the 2012 Fifa Women U-20 World Cup has played 89 times for the US team, scored 27 goals with 37 assists. She is said to be the granddaughter of a former Nigerian international but was born in London and grew up in Texas.

 Arsenal Ladies manager, Pedro Martinez Losa, said: "Chioma is a player I have known about from my time coaching in the United States and she is a fantastic talent. She is very creative, and is able to make goals as well as score them, so I think that she will fit in very well with us."

Last month, Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala signed up for Liverpool Ladies making her the first African player to ply her trade in the English Women's Super League.  By far one of the greatest talents in world football, Asisat won both the Golden Boot and Golden Ball at last year's Under-20 Women's World Cup Finals, in which Nigeria finished second.

In addition to her star performances in the U20 World Cup, Asisat also collected the Golden Ball award when the Super Falcons qualified for the 2015 World Cup by winning the African Women's Championship. Also, she has been named the 2014 African Women's Player of the Year and Youth Player of the Year after helping her club side Rivers Angels, become Nigerian champions.
