Nigerian international forward Joy Omewa is attracting interest from the Women’s Super League in England, with at least three clubs reportedly monitoring her situation ahead of the winter transfer window. Aston Villa W.F.C., Brighton & Hove Albion W.F.C. and West Ham United W.F.C. are all said to be keen on securing the 22 year old’s services.
Omewa made a strong impression during her spell at Danish club Fortuna Hjørring, where she finished as the league’s top scorer and was named Player of the Season after scoring 25 goals to help the team win a domestic double. This season, she has already amassed 19 goals across all competitions.
Her international breakthrough came recently, when she made her debut for the Super Falcons of Nigeria in a match against the Benin Republic Women’s National Team. With her profile on the rise, the trio of English clubs are said to be looking to bolster their attacking options by adding the dynamic forward.

Editorial
In the elegant chaos of modern women’s football, recruitment is not merely about signing players it is about identifying stories waiting to be told. And in Joy Omewa, there lies a narrative of ascension, presence and potential.
Her 25 goal season in Denmark, culminating in a domestic double and recognition as Player of the Season, is remarkable in any context. But her decision to move next into the intensely competitive environment of the WSL speaks volumes about ambition and readiness. The fact that Aston Villa, Brighton and West Ham are circling indicates more than interest it suggests anticipation of a forward ready to deliver.
The Super Falcons striker comes at a moment when the WSL is evolving not just technically, but culturally. Clubs are seeking not only goals, but profiles. Physicality, pace, finishing—these are expected. But identity and story add value. Omewa offers both. She offers the Nigerian story, the goal machine statistics, and the hunger to prove that the Scandinavian success is not a one-off.
Yet, for the next step to yield fruit, Omewa must adapt—to tempo, intensity, expectation. The WSL is less forgiving than any league she has yet played. But if she lands well, she could become not just a signing, but a statement. A declaration that Nigerian forward talent can thrive at the highest level of European women’s football.
This is more than a transfer rumour. It is a partnership waiting for alignment. And for the Super Falcons and Nigerian football, it is another door opening into the global game. The question now is not if she can succeed—but when.
