Deportivo La Coruña forward Blessing Nkor has heaped praise on Super Falcons stars Asisat Oshoala and Rasheedat Ajibade.
The Super Falcons invitee, who featured in Super Falcons’ 1-2 defeat to France last year, described the former Barcelona Femeni striker and Ajibade as exceptional players and role models who have greatly influenced her journey as a professional footballer.
The 21-year-old Nigerian, who recently signed with the Spanish Primera División Femenina side Dépor ABANCA, said she often looks up to the duo and tries to mirror aspects of their game.
Asisat and Rasheedat are exceptional players and role models to me. Beyond their contributions to the country from youth to senior level, I consider them very special,” Nkor told Shina Oludare. “I often try to incorporate aspects of their game into mine, as it’s always a good idea to learn from the best.”
Nkor, who has been capped by Nigeria at youth level, joined Deportivo on a short-term deal until the end of the season.
She arrives in Spain following a prolific stint in Turkey with Gaziantep Asya Spor, where she scored 12 goals last season.
