Nigeria legend Perpetual Nkwocha has backed compatriot Asisat Oshoala to surpass her record after the Barcelona star won the African Women's Player of the Year for a fourth time on Tuesday.
Oshoala beat off competition from Cameroon's Ajara Nchout and South Africa's Thembi Kgatlana to scoop her fourth prize in Egypt, having previously won the 2014, 2016 and 2017 awards.
A historic fourth triumph saw the Super Falcons striker equal the record held by Nkwocha since she claimed the 2004, 2005, 2010 and 2011 prizes.
Having seen her African feat marched, the former Nigeria international has hailed the 25-year-old on her latest achievement and believes she has what it takes to win a record fifth gong.
