Taiwo Awoniyi challenge set after Nottingham Forest landmark hit against Crystal Palace

Head coach Steve Cooper has challenged Nottingham Forest forward Taiwo Awoniyi to build on his double-figures Premier League goals tally next season.

The 25-year-old finished the campaign in red-hot form, with his strike against Crystal Palace his 10th in the top-flight. It was also the fourth successive game in which he had found the back of the net, making him the first Reds player to manage such a feat in the Premier League since Stan Collymore in 1995.

Cooper is convinced Awoniyi could have scored even more had he not missed a chunk of the campaign due to injury. And he believes the front man is capable of improving further as Forest look to push on next term.
