The 19-year-old who made her Super Falcons debut at the 2019 WAFU Cup, starred for Nigeria at the last Women’s World Cup in France playing four games and providing an assist for Oshoala.
The defender has however described Oshoala as a true friend who always have her back.
“We are both products of FC Robo but our relationship goes beyond teammates,” Okeke said.
“Whenever I need someone to talk to, she’s always there to listen to my rants. She never gets tired of me. After my injury was done, she called to know how it went and visited when necessary.”
