Africa-Press – Eritrea. Ghanaian forward Persis Martha Oteng wasted no time in making her mark at her new club, RB Leipzig Women. The 19-year-old striker struck the decisive goal in her side’s 1-0 friendly win over Hamburger SV Women, opening her account in only her second appearance since joining from Tottenham U21 Women this summer.
Oteng, who spearheaded Leipzig’s attack, showed her trademark pace and composure in front of goal, calmly slotting home midway through the second half. Her strike proved to be the difference in a tightly contested encounter, giving Leipzig a morale-boosting win as they continue their preseason preparations.
The young forward has already been under the spotlight in recent months, having grabbed international attention last year when she made the bold decision to commit her future to Ghana rather than England, despite being eligible for both. Her choice was widely applauded in Ghanaian football circles, with many tipping her as one of the country’s brightest attacking prospects.
Oteng’s early impact in Germany will no doubt excite Black Queens fans, as she looks to use her platform in the Frauen-Bundesliga to sharpen her game ahead of future national team call-ups.
For Leipzig, her quick adaptation offers plenty of encouragement.
With her first goal now under her belt, Persis Martha Oteng’s journey in German football is just beginning—but if her start is anything to go by, the Ghanaian starlet is ready to rise.
