Last season, he netted 20 goals and provided five assists in 42 appearances for the capital city club to qualify to play in the UEFA Conference League again next season.

Awoniyi has not hidden his desire to play in the Premier League after he could not do so with Liverpool due to work permit issues.

He is now set to be Forest first signing this summer as they get set for a return to the English top flight after many years in the lower leagues.
