With Nottingham Forest now back in the Premier League, the club are working hard on the transfer market to get the right players for the team.
The main aim will be to stay up as comfortably as possible, and they will need to score goals to achieve that.
That’s why their targeting of Taiwo Awoniyi makes sense, as the former Liverpool player found the back of the net regularly for Union Berlin last season.
Scoring 20 goals in 43 games for the Bundesliga side, the Nigeria U23 international could leave if the right offer comes along, which could be his €20.5m release clause.

Florian Plettenberg has the latest update from Germany on the matter, taking to Twitter to announce a ‘verbal agreement’ has been found with Nottingham Forest, although with who isn’t said.
That could be with either the player or the team, although the journalist then adds there are ‘negotiations ongoing’, suggesting the agreement might be contractual while the clubs keep going at it for the transfer fee.
Either way, that will be progress Nottingham Forest fans will welcome as they see the club work hard to bolster the squad at City Ground.
