British-Nigerian player, Omorinsola Babajide has won the Liverpool Women’s team player of the month award for the month of January, the club has announced on it’s official website.
Babajide, a natural winger who has also been deployed as a central striker can represent Nigeria as well as England due to her dual citizenship, started all the three matches played by Liverpool last month, scoring four goals, all of which came against Blackburn Rovers Ladies in an 8-1 win in their FA Cup campaign.
The 21-year-old, who once scored 14 goals in a single game, during her days at University of East London, noted further that winning the Liverpool award was mostly down to the fact that she was able to notch more goals for the team within the past month.
While thanking the club’s fans for deeming her good enough to go home with the latest award as Liverpool Women’s Standard Chartered Player of The Month for January 2020, Babajide said it has encouraged her to keep aspiring for greater things with the Merseyside outfit.
She said: “I’m really honoured to be Player of the Month and thanks to all the fans that voted.
“I feel like our performances have been getting better all the time and two back-to-back wins show that. Now we need another three points and that would be massive for us.”
Could this be another Asisat Oshoala?
