Nigeria’s Super Falcons goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, has earned a nomination for the PFA Women’s Super League (WSL) Fans’ Player of the Month award for September, following a stellar start to her debut season with Brighton & Hove Albion.
The 24-year-old shot-stopper, who joined Brighton on a free transfer from Paris FC during the summer, has quickly become one of the standout performers in the English Women’s Super League. Her impressive saves and commanding presence between the posts have drawn widespread praise from fans and pundits alike.
In her first five league appearances for the Seagulls, Nnadozie recorded two clean sheets, helping Brighton secure seven points from their opening five matches. She has also made 16 crucial saves across four games, reflecting an exceptional save percentage that has kept her team competitive against top-tier opponents.
Her heroics were particularly evident on her WSL debut against Aston Villa, where she was named Player of the Match for her outstanding goalkeeping display that ensured Brighton walked away with valuable points.
Nnadozie now faces stiff competition for the Fans’ Player of the Month award, going up against some of the league’s brightest stars:
- Aggie Beever-Jones (Chelsea)
- Melvine Malard (Manchester United)
- Alessia Russo (Arsenal)
- Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw (Manchester City)
- Cathinka Tandberg (Tottenham Hotspur)
Fans are encouraged to support the Nigerian goalkeeper by voting for her via the official PFA voting platform.
Nnadozie’s nomination not only highlights her exceptional talent but also reinforces her growing reputation as one of Africa’s finest female goalkeepers making waves in Europe. Her journey from Paris to Brighton has been marked by dedication, consistency, and remarkable performances that continue to inspire young African female footballers.
As she eyes her first major recognition in the Women’s Super League, all eyes are on Nnadozie to see if she can clinch the prestigious fan-voted award and further solidify her place among the league’s elite performers.
