Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi has stated that if he hadn't been a professional football player, he would have preferred to become a doctor.
Awoniyi became well-known during the 2013 FIFA Under-17 World Cup after helping Nigeria in the tournament.
He earned a move to Liverpool due to his performance, but he could not play due to a work permit issue.
He was then sent on loan to different clubs before returning to England to seal a transfer move to Nottingham Forest.

Chris Wood is currently the team's first-choice striker, and he has been demoted to the bench after saving the team from relegation two seasons earlier.

Following his limited minutes, he has been linked to West Ham, which has led to rumours that he may be leaving the City Ground soon.
