Speaking to Sports Brief, Awoniyi explained that he never made any mistake stressing that his dream since he was young has been to play in the Premier League.

Statement made by Awoniyi

''I made the best decision of my career because Forest' deal was a big chance for me to achieve my target as you know that I never had the chance to play for Liverpool before I was sold.
''I am happy at Forest, my family are happy in England and I want to keep representing the club and do my best on and off the pitch.''

Meanwhile, Forest are currently occupying 14th position on the Premier League table after 26 games played so far.

Awoniyi ruled out for 2 months

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Nigerian international Taiwo Awoniyi was ruled out of action for two months due to a problem with his groin.

The Nottingham Forest striker suffered a knock during his side’s 1-0 win over Southampton in a Premier League clash on January 4.

Awoniyi put up an impressive performance during the encounter and scored the only goal of the game before he was substituted 20 minutes from time.

Afterwards, he said that he felt “soreness in the groin”, but added that he was fine. He has not made his club’s match-day squad since then.
