Super Falcons defender Oluwatosin Demehin has revealed that fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe played a role in her decision to join Portuguese champions Benfica, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Demehin completed her move to Benfica from Turkish side Galatasaray on a three-year contract, becoming the third Nigerian to join the club this summer after strikers Janet Akekoromowei and Sebastian Flourish.
The 24-year-old centre-back said she consulted Ucheibe before agreeing to join the Portuguese giants, with the midfielder speaking positively about her experience at the club.
“Before coming here, I spoke with her during the national team training camp. She told me many nice things about the club,” Demehin told BTV.
