Nigeria international forward Taiwo Awoniyi has all but completed his move to newly promoted English Premier League side Nottingham Forest, OwnGoalNigeria.com understands.
We first broke the news that he has agreed terms on a move to the club from German side Union Berlin but Forest as at when we reported were yet to agree terms on his transfer fee with Union Berlin.
That isn’t the case anymore as both teams have signed the required documents for the move to be made official and an announcement is expected by Thursday or Friday.
Awoniyi per what we gathered has already told his teammates at the club that he will be leaving and already has a shirt number in mind at his new club. We exclusively gathered that he wants the jersey number 14.
If the number isn’t available he will settle for number 9. He is expected in England for a routine medical check by tomorrow. The deal is worth a little over €20 million.
