One of the most promising Nigerian players, she is comfortable playing as an attacking midfielder, winger and center forward.

In her first words after the deal was confirmed, Ajibade stated : "It is a great privilege and an opportunity to be here. I am excited to be a part of this team and I hope that together we achieve success.

"It is a great step in my career and a great challenge for me and I am ready to give it my all".

Atlético de Madrid Femenino are sitting third in the Primera División standings with 27 points after thirteen matches played.
