Official : Ex-Tottenham Hotspur midfielder of Nigerian descent joins Charlton Athletic Women

With a statement on their official website, Charlton Athletic Women have announced the signing of Nigeria-eligible midfielder Elisha Sulola, who was on the books of Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the 2020-2021 season.

The 20-year-old has joined the Addicks on a permanent deal, signing a professional contract, after impressing during a loan spell at the club last season.

Sulola is the third Charlton player to sign professional forms after Eartha Cumings and Rachael Newboro, who have also signed full-time contracts.

The Anglo-Nigerian starlet worked under Charlton Athletic manager Karen Hills at Tottenham.

After the deal was confirmed, Sulola told the Addicks official website : "I really enjoyed my time on loan and the vision of the club with the one club mentality is something I thought the owner put across really well and I like that.

"Charlton is ambitious and a club with good intentions so I’m looking forward to getting into it."

Sulola spent seven years at Tottenham Hotspur, making five appearances for the first team prior to her departure.
