Super Falcons coach, Edwin Okon has voiced his soft preference for the English FA WSL side, Liverpool Ladies FC for star striker, Asisat Oshoala.
The Reds are among the several suitors outside the nation's shores seeking the signature of Rivers Angels goal poacher and reigning African women player of the year.
Okon said a stint with the English side will greatly impact positively on the blossoming career of the fleet-footed lanky striker, Oshoala.
"Of course, Liverpool Ladies FC are well respected strong women side in the world and will certainly impact positively on her career if she eventually chooses to further her football career there.
"She will readily get my approval and support as I'm convinced she will always come back to the national team a far improved player.
"Oshoala has done very well for herself and need a good side that will further harness the budding talent to make her all round best player in the world.
"Aside England any of my player that has career offer from Germany, France, United States of America (USA) will enjoy a wholehearted support from me because of the pedigree and quality of their leagues.
"Experience over the years has shown that some of our key players who journeyed to countries like Belarus, Sweden, Russia, among other similar places come back to the national team somehow off form and weak.
"That's why I'm not comfortable with the reported movement of Chinwendu Ihezuo to a Russian side that move is unlikely to improve her game.
"I'll always continue to volunteer a fatherly advice on their career choice so that they can improve on their worth and come back to the national team to add value to what we've on ground.
"We need our best legs to prosecute the assignments we've in the year especially the Fifa Women's World Cup in Canada.
"As African champions we can't afford to disappoint at the world stage that's my interest in where my players ply their trade," said the former Falconets coach to supersport.com.
Falcons will confront former world champions, USA, Sweden and Australia at the group stage of the upcoming global football showpiece in Canada later in the year.
