Taiwo Awoniyi: Liverpool's Nigerian striker granted work permit six years after signing

Share

Liverpool's Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi has been granted a work permit to play in the UK - six years after signing for the club.

The 23-year-old joined Liverpool on a long-term deal in August 2015 from Nigeria's Imperial Academy, but has never played for The Reds due to his inability to secure a work permit.

"He has the ambition to play in the Premier League and hopefully he can do that next season."

Fit-again Awoniyi, who has a contract with Liverpool until June 2023, scored five goals in 20 appearances for Union Berlin despite an injury-blighted campaign in the Bundesliga.
