Liverpool set for transfer windfall as Taiwo Awoniyi closes in on Premier League return

Liverpool are poised to net just shy of £2million with their former forward Taiwo Awoniyi on the verge of joining Nottingham Forest.

Awoniyi never made a single senior appearance for Liverpool despite joining the club in 2015 as he was unable to gain a UK work permit. However, now that he has featured on the international scene with Nigeria, that is no longer an issue and he is set to return to the Premier League.

The 24-year-old scored 20 goals and provided five assists for Bundesliga outfit Union Berlin this campaign and The Telegraph reports Forest are preparing to make the forward their club record signing for £17.5million.
