His dream has always been to play in the Premier League since being signed by Liverpool but getting a place in the star-studded Reds’ side and also securing a work permit have been issues culminating

in going on a seven-loan spell to various European clubs before finally being sold to German Bundesliga side-Union Berlin. However, succour has finally come the way of the Super Eagles striker to achieve his dream with newly promoted side, Nottingham Forest that is ready to cough out a club record signing of £17.5m for the signature of the Nigerian international

Awoniyi, according to a report in dnachricten.de visited his Union Berlin teammates on the first day of pre-season to say goodbye to them.“I saw him, but please don’t dig deeper now. I won’t say anything about that,”Fischer told the website Awoniyi missed the sports medical examination and the performance tests on Monday and Tuesday, further proving he is leaving the club.

However, that is through no fault of his own as the talented striker consistently struggled to secure a work permit at Liverpool. Yet, it was at Union Berlin where the forward finally started to find his feet and even drew comparisons to Erling Haaland. “He said ‘What took you so long?!’ To be honest, I have always been thinking about working with him. Even when I was at FSV Frankfurt and he had not signed for Liverpool yet, my teammates there would always say that they wanted to play under him,” Awoniyi told GOAL in December.

“Life is a journey. Everyone has different steps to take and routes to follow. Our destinies are different,” he told Tribal Football.
