Nottingham Forest forward Taiwo Awoniyi has said he'll be "very excited" to line up against his former side Liverpool when the two sides face each other in the Premier League for the first time in 23 years next month.
Awoniyi spent six years at Liverpool between 2015 and 2021 but his career at Anfield was largely spent out on loan as he was unable to gain a work permit after he signed for the Reds from Imperial Soccer Academy for a fee of £400,000.
Despite receiving a work permit last year after a fruitful spell in the Bundesliga with Union Berlin, the Nigerian departed Liverpool to join the German outfit on a full-time basis, with the Reds banking £6.5m for a player who never kicked a ball for their first-team.
