Jurgen Klopp believes Taiwo Awoniyi has “arrived where he belongs” after the Nottingham Forest striker came back to haunt his former side.
Awoniyi spent six years with Liverpool, but failed to make a single appearance and was instead sent away on a series of loans. Following a breakthrough campaign with Union Berlin, Klopp urged the Nigerian to make the move permanent when the option was on table.
And after scoring 15 times in his only campaign as a full-time Union player, he was picked up by Forest as part of their summer spending spree following promotion. Since moving to the CIty Ground, Awoniyi has been in and out of Steve Cooper’s starting XI, but enjoyed his best performance in the Garibaldi up against his former employers.
