Premier League new boys interested in Awoniyi

The Reds are returning to the English top-flight after 23 years, and they are looking to add a lot of firepower to their arsenal to ensure that they make a good impression 

Newly Promoted Premier League side Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Taiwo Awoniyi from Union Berlin this summer.

Awoniyi ended a six-year association with Liverpool to seal a permanent move to Union Berlin last summer. And it turned out to be a good move, as the Super Eagles striker had an outstanding campaign in the Bundesliga.

The 24-year-old was one of the top hitmen in the German top flight, scoring 15 goals and assisting two in 31 league games.

Awoniyi has never hidden his love for the Premier League, and his dream could come through soon, as Get German Football News reports that Nottingham Forest want to lure the Imperial Academy product to West Bridgford.

According to Sky Germany, Union Berlin would accept a fee in the region of €20million. The fee is a decent one for the Reds as they made around €198million from gaining promotion through the Championship playoffs.

Nottingham Forest are returning to top-flight football after 23 years in the lower tiers of English football, and they would look to make a big impression. If Awoniyi joins them, he could be a great addition with his deadly ability in front of goal, and his physicality.
