Taiwo Awoniyi’s suitors in England keep increasing with the latest being Southampton, Megasportsarena.com reports.
It’s been anything but a simple pathway to success for the Nigerian frontman after a six-year spell on the books of Liverpool.
The Union Berlin striker was unable to obtain a work permit to ply his trade in the United Kingdom and as such spent loan spells in Germany, Belgium and Holland before making the permanent switch to the Bundesliga in 2021.
Now, yet another move could be on the horizon following an impressive start to life in the German top flight, but this time with a permanent stay in the Premier League.
Head of Football for German outlet SportBILD Falk stated that Southampton are among the suitors for the Nigerian international.
“TRUE. West Ham, NUFC and Southampton are interested in Taiwo Awoniyi @fcunion. The striker has a release clause of 20 Mio €.”
Recently hailed as a ‘hero’ by Union Berlin’s official Twitter account, Awoniyi is the only player in the club’s history to score 13 Bundesliga goals in a single season.
With 18 goals and four assists in 39 outings this term in Germany, Awoniyi has certainly made an impact at the business end of the pitch and Hasenhuttl would be wise to push to bring the Nigerian with an ever-rising stock to St Mary’s.
