Nottingham Forest are on track to complete their first summer signings with Dean Henderson and Taiwo Awoniyi close to joining the Premier League club.
Striker Awoniyi has said his goodbyes to Union Berlin teammates according to reports in Germany and should join for a fee understood to be around £17.5m, which would significantly eclipse the club record signing of Joao Carvalho for £13.2m.
In what was a breakthrough season, Awoniyi had 21 goal involvements in all competitions in 2021/22. He scored 15 goals and registered two assists in the Bundesliga. Awoniyi joined Liverpool in 2015, after previously representing Imperial Academy in Nigeria, for a fee of £400,000 but never made a competitive appearance for Liverpool due to work permit complications.
