Mainz seek new on-loan deal for Awoniyi

German club, Mainz, are seriously considering to hire Liverpool striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, on-loan again.

Kicker reported that Mainz wish to take Awoniyi on-loan again next season and talks with the Reds are planned.

Since the end of the Bundesliga, the Nigerian has been training with Liverpool as a non-playing member of the squad.

Mainz chief Rouven Schröder says management were delighted with the attitude and enthusiasm of the young forward and are eager to work with him again.

Awoniyi has a deal with Liverpool to 2023.

Only a few weeks ago, Awoniyi survived the on-the-pitch accident after a nasty head collision with Augsburg’s Felix Uduokhai during one of the league matches.

The 22-year-old was stretchered off in the 23rd minute with his neck in a brace before he was rushed to the hospital for further observation. Subsequently, he was replaced by German-Nigerian Karim Onisiwo.

Achim Beierlorzer’s men suffered a 1-0 home defeat to the Fuggerstadter thanks to Florian Niederlechner’s first-minute strike.

Now in a stable condition, the Nigerian youth international stated that being in an unconscious state, he still craved to continue with the encounter, while applauding the medics for reviving him as well as the fans for their goodwill messages.

“What I find interesting about this incident is that the doctors and paramedics told me that while they were attending to me at the stadium after the collision I was saying I wanted to continue playing,” he told Ojbsport.

“I am so thankful and grateful to God for being alive. It happened so fast and I didn’t even know what was going on, but in my mind, all I was saying was I wanted to continue playing.

“I regained consciousness in the hospital and was told of what happened in the stadium. To be alive and okay is the greatest gift that anybody can wish for and I am so appreciative.
