By Sunday Agunbiade
Portsmouth diminutive winger has expressed readiness to play for Nigerian Super Falcons if given the opportunity to prove her mettle in the national team. Anu, who has never played football in Nigeria said that it would be a dream come through to don the national team jersey for her fatherland
Pompey Women last season went to extra mile to sign Esther Anu to bolster their attacking options with the signing of pacy winger.
She progressed through the youth ranks at Crystal Palace, and later on had a spell with Bristol City and Millwall’s development sides.
Anu then made the step up to senior football when she was given a breakthrough at QPR during the 2016/17 season where she became a delight for British Coaches
A move to fellow National League South side, Gillingham followed and she scored twice in 12 matches last term even as a winger. The 21-year-old later joined Pompey ahead of their league fixture starting with Watford at the PMC Stadium and goes straight into the starting 11.
"This versatility, along with the pace and power she brings, will cause nightmares for most defenders." Jay Sadler
Blues boss Jay Sadler said: “We’re delighted to welcome Esther to Portsmouth. She is a player I have a lot of admiration for, having caught the eye last season when playing for Gillingham and also when training with us over the past few weeks.
“She can play in a variety of attacking positions – on either wing, centrally in the hole behind the nine and also as the nine.
“This versatility, along with the pace and power she brings, will cause nightmares for most defenders
“In front of goal she excites me too, and I feel her addition will only strengthen what is already a very strong and dynamic attacking line-up.”
Engaging in a telephone chat with journalists from UK, Esther Said:
"Playing for my father land would be a thin of joy and would greatly excite me in my chosen career. In fact let me add that it would be a dream come through if I'm given the opportunity to contribute my quota for Nigeria at any global event . I'm comfortable with my both legs couple with my pace and power which makes most defenders fall victims
Commenting on the tactics employed by Super Falcons tactitian against South Africa on Sunday, Esther said that Coach Dennerby is an experienced Gaffer in Sweden with track records only that the coach needs time to blend the players into a team and appealed for more patience from sports loving Nigerians. Esther appeals.
