Nottingham Forest receive exciting double message after completing Taiwo Awoniyi transfer

Two of Taiwo Awoniyi's main attributes have been highlighted as reasons as to why he will be a success at Nottingham Forest.

The 24 year-old completed a club record transfer to Forest on Saturday after the Reds triggered his release clause at Union Berlin. Steve Cooper has been searching for a forward to lead Forest's front-line following their promotion to the Premier League.

Before Awoniyi's arrival the Reds' only contracted senior strikers were Lyle Taylor and Sam Surridge. Now, they have added a talismanic stiker who has proved their worth in the Bundesliga. His tally of 15 goals and two assists in 31 league appearances - his best season in-front of goal - helped Union finish fifth in the German top-tier, qualifying for the Europa League.
