Awoniyi's Nottingham Forest future under review ahead of summer transfer window

Nottingham Forest are reportedly evaluating the future of Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window, according to Football Insider.

Awoniyi, who joined Forest in the summer of 2022 following an impressive spell with Union Berlin, has endured a mixed spell in England, with injuries significantly disrupting his rhythm and overall consistency.

The former Liverpool striker endured a difficult start to the current season, struggling for regular minutes and even being left out of Forest’s UEFA Europa League squad.

However, his fortunes have improved in recent weeks under manager Vítor Pereira, where he has begun to regain form and confidence.

The former Liverpool striker delivered one of his standout performances against Chelsea, scoring a brace as Nottingham Forest secured a crucial victory at Stamford Bridge.

Additionally, he has recorded three goals and two assists in his last five appearances, playing a key role in helping Forest secure their Premier League status in the closing stages of the season.

Despite this upturn in form, Forest are reportedly still open to considering a potential summer departure as part of broader squad planning.

Awoniyi, who has one year remaining on his contract, is expected to attract interest in the transfer market as clubs monitor his situation closely ahead of the window.
