West Ham United are one of the Premier League clubs heavily interested in signing Union Berlin striker Taiwo Awoniyi, Megasportsarena.com can confirm.
The likes of Newcastle United and Southampton are also keen to sign the 24-year-old former Liverpool striker and must cough up €20 million (£16.7 million) if they want to sign the 24-year-old centre-forward in the summer.
West Ham manager David Moyes will be desperate to add some more firepower to his centre-forward ranks at the London Stadium before the start of next season.
Michail Antonio is currently the only recognised striker at the club and that quite clearly isn’t acceptable.
Awoniyi has bagged an impressive 18 goals and four assists in 39 games for Union Berlin so far this season
His fine form has helped fire Union Berlin up to sixth spot in the Bundesliga and they still have an outside chance of finishing inside the Champions League places.
The Nigerian is a total menace for opposing defenders. The 24-year-old is absolutely rapid and is built the like a proverbial outhouse.
Awoniyi is a willing and tireless runner. His physical attributes help him occupy more than one defender at a time and that in turn creates space for his teammates.
