Former Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi is closing in on a return to the Premier League just a year after leaving the Reds.
The striker joined Union Berlin in a £6.5m transfer last summer before enjoying a prolific campaign for the Bundesliga outfit as he scored 20 goals and was called up to the Nigeria squad in the process. And such form attracted the interest of newly-promoted Nottingham Forest ahead of their return to the English top-flight.
Liverpool included a 10% sell-on clause when selling the Nigerian, who never kicked a ball for the club due to work permit issues, last year and are now set to receive a windfall as a result with the 24-year-old on the verge of a move to Forest. Awoniyi is currently undergoing a medical ahead of joining the Tricky Trees in a club-record £17.5m transfer.
