The teenage sensation is aiming to walk in the footsteps of her role model after being named in the inaugural women’s NxGn top 10
Having started on the same streets as Nigerian greats such as Mercy Akide-Udoh, Perpetual Nkwocha and Asisat Oshoala, there's no denying Gift Monday has plenty of role models to look up to.

Monday enjoyed a fine spell at now-defunct COD United Ladies, scoring 18 goals during her two-season stint, including in the final to win the 2016 Lagos FA Women's Cup before joining FC Robo in 2017.
