French giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have confirmed the signing of Super Falcons forward Rasheedat Ajibade.
Ajibade, who led Nigeria for the 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title, joins the French giants Paris St Germain on a two-year deal after leaving Spanish side Atlético de Madrid at the end of last season.
The 24-year-old will join fellow Super Falcons star Jennifer Echegini as Les Parisiennes strengthen their squad in a bid to reclaim the Ligue 1 Féminine title, which they last won in 2021.
Ajibade shone at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, where she was voted Player of the Tournament after scoring one goal and providing two assists, helping Nigeria to enjoy yet another success on the continent.
Ajibade expressed her delight.
“I’m deeply honoured to be joining Paris Saint-Germain, a top-drawer club in Europe. This is a major step for me, and I’m committed to giving my all to help PSG win titles and to inspire young footballers, be they in Nigeria or elsewhere,” Ajibade said after completing the move.
PSG announced:
“Paris Saint-Germain is pleased to announce the signing of Nigerian international Rasheedat Ajibade, who has committed to the club until June 30, 2027.”
