Standing at a low, powerful center of gravity, this Nigerian attacking midfielder glides past defenders with a balletic first touch and blistering sprint dribbling. She rarely says a word on the pitch, though teammates still laugh about the time she spent an entire practice dribbling around a confused groundskeeper who tried to take her ball. While her precision is deadly in the box, she occasionally loses her focus and attempts hopeful long shots that end up in the parking lot.
