“It is done and dusted”- transfers expert confirms Awoniyi’s ₦9billion move to Nottingham Forest

The Super Eagles star has been heavily linked with a move to Nottingham Forest, and it appears that the deal is already complete 

Transfer market expert, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi has completed a £17million( ₦9 billion) transfer from Union Berlin to Nottingham Forest.

Awoniyi has been heavily linked with a return to the Premier League in recent weeks. There were reports that Nottingham Forest and Union Berlin had concluded negotiations for the 24-year-old.

However, it appears that both parties have concluded, as reputable transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Awoniyi has put pen to paper to join Nottingham Forest this summer.

 

“Nottingham Forest have signed all the paperwork for Taiwo Awoniyi deal with Union Berlin. It’s done and sealed, agreement completed,” Fabrizio posted via his Twitter page.

“£17m release clause triggered and Liverpool will receive 10% of the transfer.”

 

Awoniyi was in Liverpool’s books for six years but he was unable to feature for the Merseyside giants due to work permit issues.

However, he would look to take his Bundesliga form to the Premier League and prove a point to his former employers.
