Nottingham Forest striker makes 'no excuse' admission after big-money transfer

Striker Taiwo Awoniyi says "there is no excuse" for him not to fit in at Nottingham Forest following his club-record fee switch from Union Berlin.

Forest paid a fee in the region of £17.5million for Awoniyi's services to maximise their chances of succeeding in their return to the Premier League, having started his career at Liverpool but leaving Anfield without making a senior appearance. While players often require some time to adapt to English football, the 24-year-old believes it is down to him to find a way to succeed.

"You have to fit in," he told German magazine Kicker. "There is no excuse. You have to find your way."
