A 15-year-old British-born Nigerian football starlet, Kosisochukwu Nwulu, who is presently making waves in England, is eyeing a call-up to the Nigeria national team.
The starlet’s handlers, in a statement, said the British-born Nigerian teenager is fast emerging as one of the most promising football talents in England, where she currently plays for Sittingbourne Ladies FC.
“At just 15 years old, Kosisochukwu has already distinguished herself with impressive displays for her club side, earning recognition as a rising star to watch.

“In addition to her club duties, the teenage sensation is also a member of the Crystal Palace Girls Performance Squad, a programme designed to nurture young female players with elite training and development opportunities.
“She is presently on the pathway to the Crystal Palace feeder team, a step that could open the door to professional football in the coming years.”
The statement added that the young footballer, whose father – a Nigerian of British descent – Mr Vincent Nwulu, and mother, Mrs Chito Nwulu, has her eyes firmly set on representing Nigeria’s national teams in the future.
“Her ambition reflects the growing wave of diaspora talents embracing their Nigerian heritage while building football careers abroad.”
The teenager’s handlers said her exposure in England’s competitive football environment, coupled with her pathway to Crystal Palace, could make her a valuable asset for Nigeria’s women’s football teams, including the Super Falcons.
