Falconets striker Sophia Omotola Omidiji is being monitored by a plethora of clubs based in Holland and England but Dutch powerhouse PSV Eindhoven are in the driving seat to secure her signature.
Interest from PSV for the 19-year-old is gaining traction as she is presently training with the club before penning a contract.
“She is currently training with PSV Eindhoven in Holland with plans to link up with them after her contract with FC Eindhoven
is over as the coach rates her very highly, ” Lateef Omidiji, Sophia’s father, informed allnigeriasoccer.com.
“To further develop her game, she has traveled to England where she trained and played with numerous women teams to improve her skills and gain exposure to international soccer.
“She is currently licensed by the English FA as she just completed the first course to getting a UEFA coaching badge.”
While Sophia is a striker, coaches have often deployed her as a false number nine, tracking back from the defensive line to receive the ball, and is also comfortable playing in midfield and as a winger.
