UNBELIEVABLE NEWS;Taiwo Awoniyi finally agree terms and conditions with west Ham club

Nottingham Forest will be working tirelessly behind the scenes to try and do some transfer business before the window closes in early February and West Ham want one of the team’s players it seems

The Reds drew 1-1 with Liverpool at the City Ground last night. Chris Wood and Diogo Jota scored the goals and it means Forest have taken four points from the league leaders this season.

Although Nuno Espirito Santo will be fully focused on football, the recruitment team will be working hard to do some business to ensure that the squad is in the best possible shape.

Taiwo Awoniyi has been linked with West Ham this month. Graham Potter needs a striker with Jarrod Bowen, Michail Antonio and Niclas Fullkrug all unavailable for selection at the moment.

Taiwo Awoniyi to West Ham gains traction as talks with Forest begin

Clearly, this is a link that doesn’t seem to be going away. West Ham are in desperate need of a new striker and it looks as though Awoniyi is the player they crave.

According to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany, talks are now underway between West Ham and Forest over a deal that would see Awoniyi head to the London Stadium.

It was claimed earlier this week that Forest wouldn’t offload Awoniyi. However, something might have changed in that sense with the clubs now in contact over doing something this month.

Awoniyi cost Forest £17.5 million from Union Berlin and was the club’s first signing after winning promotion back to the Premier League in the summer of 2022.

During the 2022/23 campaign, he was worth his weight in gold. Despite a groin injury that robbed him of a full season, he scored 11 Premier League goals and in truth, he kept the team in the top-flight.
