Women's Super League side West Ham United have signed highly rated tri-national attacker Sude Ngozi Oztas ahead of the new season, following her departure from Chelsea.
Born in London, Ngozi is eligible to represent the national teams of England, Turkey and Nigeria.
However, the Turkish Football Federation are currently in pole position to secure her international future, as she is provisionally cap-tied to Turkey after featuring in competitive fixtures for their U19 side.
Before earning promotion to the U19s, she played in friendly matches for Turkey's U17 team against Thailand, Zambia, Colombia and Lebanon, while she has also represented England at youth level.
Chelsea's official website describes Ngozi as a powerful forward with an eye for goal.
The 18-year-old was named in West Ham's travelling squad for their pre-season camp in Wales and featured in their most recent friendly against Bristol City at the Vale Resort.
She came off the bench in the 75th minute, replacing former France forward of Gabonese descent Viviane Asseyi.
A product of the Arsenal academy, Ngozi confirmed her move to West Ham on social media, expressing her delight at embarking on a new chapter with the Hammers.
