Oshoala is a shining light for African women in Spain - N'Guessan

Cote d'Ivoire international Ange N'Guessan believes Nigeria international Asisat Oshoala is a shining light for Africans in Spain.

The Ivorian star was snapped up by Primera Iberdrola giants Barcelona from Lithuanian champions Gintra in mid-2016 before later joining rivals Tenerife in the summer of 2017.

On the part of Oshoala, she initially joined the Spanish giants in January, before being rewarded with a new three-year permanent deal after an impressive loan from Chinese outfit Dalian Quanjian.

During her brief loan spell, Oshoala inspired the Catalans to a maiden Women's Champions League final, becoming the first African to play and score at such a stage in their 4-1 loss to Lyon.
