Nigerian international goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie will join Brighton & Hove Albion from Paris FC.

She has 55 caps for her country, played 16 times in the Champions League and last year won three goalkeeper of the season awards.

Last season she saved two penalties in the Coupe de France final shoot-out, to help her side beat Paris Saint-Germain.

Head coach Dario Vidosic told brightonandhovealbion.com: “We’re thrilled to welcome Chiamaka to the club. She’s a talented and commanding goalkeeper who will bring consistency and confidence to our defensive line.

“She has competed at the highest level, with valuable experience in a variety of cup competitions including the Champions League. We’re confident she’ll add both depth and drive to a squad already full of ambition as we continue to build for next season.”
