Rasheedat Ajibade nominated for player of the month

Super Falcons star Rasheedat Ajibade enjoyed a remarkable run last month in the Spanish Liga, where she scored 4 goals in four matches and her efforts have earned her nomination for Atletico Madrid’s player of the month for October.

Ajibade is known for her pace, tireless pressing and the ability to create space for her teammates to run into and even provided a timely reminder of how ruthless she can be in front of goal by putting four past Huelva.

Her four goals in seven league games for Atletico Madrid this season, puts her firmly in the driving seat to eclipse her best tally of 10 goals in 23 games.

Ajibade faces a strong test for the accolade as she will be up against Defender Ainhoa Moraza, Brazilian attacker Ludmila Silva, Spanish attacker Garcia Sheila, and Argentine Midfielder Estefania Banini.
