Taiwo Awoniyi: Nottingham Forest set to entertain offers for Super Eagles star

Nottingham Forest are ready to listen to offers for their prolific striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, following an injury-hit season.

The Nigerian international has caught West Ham United's attention, which has forced Forest to look at other alternatives.

The forward struggled last season due to injury, playing 23 games, scoring six goals and providing three assists in all competitions.

Nottingham Forest open to Awoniyi’s move

With the transfer market fully opening next week, Awoniyi's future at the City Ground is now in doubt.

According to reports from Daily Mail, the Reds Tricky Trees are open to a transfer for the Super Eagles striker.

When asked about his future before Nottingham Forest clinched their spot in the Premier League, the 25-year-old, who still had three years left on his contract, made hints about maybe leaving.

Forest have turned their attention to a possible target Ben Brereton-Diaz to fill Awoniyi’s void if he leaves.

Before joining Blackburn Rovers in January 2019 on a £7 million deal, the 25-year-old scored nine goals in 57 games for the Reds.

Afterwards, Brereton Diaz joined Sheffield United and Villarreal, where he scored six goals in 16 games for the Blades in the second half of the 2023–2024 campaign.
