Super Falcons skipper Rasheedat Ajibade has shed light on how her Nigerian teammate Jeniffer Echegini and the legendary Austin Jay-Jay Okocha influenced her decision to join Paris Saint-Germain.

The Nigerian forward joined the French side on a two-year deal from Spanish side Atlético Madrid.

In an unveiling video shared by the club, Jeniffer Echegini was seen showing her Super Falcons teammate around her new club.

Ajibade highlighted how her teammate influenced her decision to join the Parisians.

“We know ourselves very well from the national team. I call her my sister because she’s a very unique person and, of course, a very amazing and special footballer,” Ajibade said.

“I think that would play a major role for me to quickly get integrated into the team because, when you see your teammate and you’ve played a lot of times, it helps to quickly get along with the team and, of course, with the rest of the players as well.”

Ajibade also explained how Jay-Jay Okocha's heroics with PSG played a part in her decision to join Paris Saint-Germain.

“PSG also have a mark in Nigeria because of Okocha—his tremendous skills and everything. So, it’s big for us, and PSG is a part of our family back home in Nigeria because Okocha is a very big player for us.”
