Turkish giants Galatasaray have confirmed the signing of the impressive Super Falcons defender Oluwatosin Demehin.

The defender started her professional career in 2020 with local club Sunshine Stars of Akure and then moved to Rivers Angels one year later.
After one season with the Port Harcourt-based side, Demehin moved to France in 2022 to join the Reims women's team.
Demehin joins Galatasaray
After two successful years with the French club Reims, she is set to bring her defensive prowess to Turkey.
Vanguard reports that the versatile defender will wear the No. 4 jersey for Galatasaray.
Demehin was part of the Super Falcons squad for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in France, where Nigeria failed to advance past the group phase.
She had been out of action for seven months due to injury but recovered to join her teammates at the Summer Games.
Her compatriot Victor Osimhen joined the club earlier in September after head coach Antonio Conte froze the Super Eagles striker out of the first team.
