Nigeria international, Francisca Ordega, says a desire to compete at the highest level explains her loan move to Spanish club, Atletico de Madrid Femenino.
The forward, 24, joined the club on loan until March from United States women’s side, Washington Spirit.
“As a professional, you want to continue to improve by competing at the highest level on a regular basis,” she said.
“Once the opportunity to play for a top side like Atletico Madrid presented itself, I thought why not?”
“It’s a great honour and I feel very grateful and wonderfully excited,” she told BBC Sport. “I just want to settle down here and hopefully make a good contribution.”
Atletico hosts rivals and joint league leaders, FC Barcelona, on 29 October, with both teams having won their previous six matches.
Ordega has 26 international caps for Nigeria and also boasts experience at two FIFA Women’s World Cups in 2011 and 2015.
