Liverpool loans Awoniyi to NEC Nijmegen
Liverpool of England have loaned out Nigeria’s U23 Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi to Dutch Eredivisie side NEC Nijmegen subject to a work permit.
The Kwara-state born striker completed a move to ‘The Reds’ last August and will spend the duration of 2016-17 with the Eredivisie side.
The 19-year-old was loaned out to German 2 Bundesliga side FSV Frankfurt for the 2015/16 season.
He only scored once in 14 matches as FSV got relegated to the German third division.
Awoniyi has been capped by Nigeria at U-17, U-20 and U-23 Olympic team levels.
