About
Taiwo Awoniyi is a Nigerian forward who leads the line for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Born in 1997, he joined Liverpool in 2015 after impressing at youth level for Nigeria, but spent six years on Merseyside without a senior appearance, instead gaining experience through a string of loan spells in Germany and Belgium. A permanent move to Union Berlin in 2021 transformed his career, where 15 Bundesliga goals helped fire the club to European qualification. That form persuaded Forest to break their transfer record, paying a fee in the region of £17.5m to bring him to the City Ground in June 2022 as their first signing back in the top flight. A physical, sharp-finishing striker, the Nigeria international remains under contract until June 2027 and is reported to earn around £50,000 per week.
