English Premier League club Nottingham Forest are willing to listen to offers for Super Eagles forward Taiwo Awoniyi in January, Soccernet.ng reports.
Awoniyi has had a disappointing campaign with the Tricky Trees. The 27-year-old striker used to be the first-choice striker at the club, but he has been displaced by Chris Wood, who has been on fire this season.
Awoniyi struggled badly with injuries in his first two seasons. Last season, he missed 50 games for club and country 33 games more than two seasons ago.
Meanwhile, Wood has produced ten goals in 17 appearances this season, causing coach Nuno Espirito Santo to keep starting the Australian.
Awoniyi, has made just 13 appearances this season, most of which have been from the bench.

Now, it seems that the Super Eagles star is not satisfied with the current situation at Nottingham Forest. This is as Talk Forest have reported that the Tricky Trees are willing to listen to offers with Awoniyi.
The Nigerian striker has previously been linked with other English Premier League clubs like West Ham, but it is unlikely that the Hammers will still push for the deal after their acquired Niklas Fullkrug last summer.
Awoniyi is currently valued at €22 million according to Transfermarkt, and he still has 30 months left on his contract.
With Woods in spectacular form, it is highly unlikely that Awoniyi will become the first-choice striker at Nottingham Forest. And if things continue this way, Awoniyi could lose his place in the national team.
