Tigres Femenil has a new first-rate reinforcement and it is a player who has left her mark in the places where she has happened, since it is Uchenna Kanu, who is selected Nigerian and a fast and lethal forward.
Here in 90min we present you 5 facts that maybe you did not know about the Nigerian.
Kanu knows perfectly what it is to score goals, since since his arrival at the Southeastern Fire he began his scoring streak. The same that earned him many awards and recognitions during the four years that he was a member of the university. In the end, Kanu concluded his collegiate stint with 157 goals in 78 games.
Given her incredible college performance with the Southeastern Fire in Lakeland, and on the mayor’s orders, Uchenna Kanu was recognized for her athletic work by commemorating November 18 as Uchenna Kanu Day. This thanks to his enormous number of goals that were a record number for a footballer; man or woman, in a single university.
After having broken countless networks in the United States, Kanu was preparing for his great challenge: to start playing professionally at the club level. Her first journey would be in Spain when she was signed by the Sevilla team. Although Kanu did not have the expected pace and could only play four games, they were enough to grant her the title of the first African player to reach the Sevillian team.
After having been part of the U-17 and U-20 processes with the Nigerian national team and on top of having participated in World Cups, in 2019, Uchenna Kanu had her great moment, as Nigeria had qualified for France 2019 and she was one of the 23 selected to play this tournament. Kanu saw action in all Nigerian matches, culminating in the game against the Germans, which would end the participation of the Africans in the World Cup after being defeated 3-0.
Upon leaving Sevilla, Kanu quickly found a new club, and it would be Linköping of Sweden, where he had a good participation, competed for the scoring title and helped the team with 22 goals in 42 games. In the end, Kanu left the Swedish team to continue making history and embark on her next adventure: Tigres Femenil.
