Florentia Striker Also Eligible For USA, Turkey And Bulgaria There For Nigeria's Taking

Published: April 25, 2020

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the Nigeria Football Federation are yet to make a formal approach to secure the services of highly-rated Florentia SG striker Dessislava Eva Dupuy.

Dessi qualifies to represent the Super Falcons through her biological Nigerian father and also has the eligibility to play for Turkey where her mother hails from, the United States and her country of birth Bulgaria.

The 26-year-old is still there for Nigeria's taking as she has not been capped by any of the aforementioned countries.

The Nigerian Federation under the leadership of Amaju Pinnick have convinced the likes of Ola Aina, Alex Iwobi, Joe Aribo, Tyronne Ebuehi and Brian Idowu to switch allegiance to the three-time African champions but the same cannot be said for the Women's National Team.

Former Arsenal striker Chioma Ubogagu has committed to England and promising teenager Olufolasade Adamolekun became cap-tied to Jamaica during last year's Women's World Cup.

Last season, Dessi scored 8 goals in 22 appearances for Verona in the Italian Serie A Women, including four in one game vs Chievo Verona, which earned her a move to Florentia.

The pacy striker represented Lynchburg Hornets (United States) and ETG Ambilly (France) before moving to Italy in the 2017-2018 season.
