Super Falcons Midfielder Toni Payne Joins Inter Milan
Super Falcons midfielder Toni Payne has completed a move to Italian club Inter Milan, opening a new chapter in her career after two impressive seasons with Women’s Super League side Everton.
The 31-year-old arrives in Italy following a consistent spell in England, where she established herself as one of Everton’s most reliable players. During the 2024/25 campaign, Payne made 22 league appearances, scored one goal and provided five assists as she played a key role in the club’s midfield.
She maintained her high standards in the 2025/26 season, featuring in 19 matches and registering two assists. Her calmness on the ball, creativity and tactical intelligence made her an important player for Everton throughout her stay.
Payne’s move to Inter Milan gives her the opportunity to test herself in Italy’s top flight, where she is expected to strengthen the club’s midfield with her experience, versatility and ability to link defence with attack.
The Nigerian international has also remained a key player for the Super Falcons. She recently scored the winning goal in Nigeria’s international friendly against Senegal, a performance that helped secure her place in the squad for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Her switch to Inter Milan is another significant step in her career and offers her the chance to compete for major honours in Italy while continuing to play an important role for the Super Falcons on the international stage.
