Awoniyi left Anfield without making a first-team appearance for the Reds, largely due to work permit issues.

He was one of the players who was deemed surplus to requirement and there were very strong intentions from Union Berlin sign him up permanently. His form has made newly-promoted Premier League outfit Nottingham Forest open talks with Union Berlin over his potential signing. “The Premier League is my dream,” Awoniyi said in a recent interview with German media outfit, Kicker.
