Echegini made her debut for Juventus in January against Milan, and has since cemented her place as a key player in the team whether she starts or not.

Her consistent performances and goal-scoring exploits have not gone unnoticed, with the Nigerian international's stock continuing to rise in the world of women's football.

Juventus will be hoping that Echegini can maintain her impressive form as they look to challenge for the Serie A title and pick a ticket for the UEFA Women's Champions League.
