Nottingham Forest have signed Nigeria forward Taiwo Awoniyi from Union Berlin for a club record fee.
The 24-year-old joins the newly promoted club on a five-year deal for a reported £17m.
“It’s always been my dream to play in the Premier League,” said Awoniyi.

“Having spoken to [Forest boss] Steve Cooper about our ambitions and looking at Forest, with its great history, it’s a club that I want to be part of.”
Awoniyi joined Union Berlin on a permanent transfer following a season-long loan in July 2021 from Liverpool, where he started his career.
He did not make any first team appearances for Liverpool after signing for the club in 2015 and spent the majority of his six years with the Merseyside side out on loan.
