“It’s always been my dream to play in the Premier League,” Taiwo Awoniyi announced after joining Nottingham Forest as their then record signing. It took the Nigerian a mere seven years from signing for Liverpool to finally make his mark but his ambitions to make it in England started even further back.
Between his arrival in England and the present day, he has ticked off seven loans and two permanent moves. The striker became Forest’s first signing of the summer when they paid Union Berlin £17.5m for him, as a sign of their intentions to mark their return to the top flight.
