The 24-year-old joined the Seagulls from July 1, 2025, after her contract with Paris FC expired. She is regarded as the best female goalkeeper in Africa and one of the best in the world, and was ranked fourth at the 2025 Yashin Trophy.
“It has not really been easy because people just see you come out on the field to play, they don’t know the struggles behind,” Nnadozie said during the Nike and VERSUS’ Nothing Off the Table film.
“Since I moved to Brighton, every day I cry because I feel lonely. I miss my family, my teammates and coaches. They always try to check up on me to make sure I’m okay.”
She added: “I think the most important thing is having people who really care about you. That has helped me a lot, and going to the pre-season with the team also helped me. The unity, everything I saw in the team was really good.”
Nnadozie has so far played four matches for Brighton in the league.
