Taiwo Awoniyi is rethinking his future at Nottingham Forest after the club’s summer recruitment drive brought in a wave of new attackers – www.naijnaira.com reports.
According to reports, the Nigerian forward is unsettled after Forest invested more than £100 million in strengthening their frontline.
Igor Jesus, Dan Ndoye, Omari Hutchinson, and Arnaud Kalimuendo were all recruited this window, with Ndoye and Hutchinson already tipped as central figures in Nuno Espírito Santo’s plans.
Awoniyi, who has scored 19 goals in 85 matches since joining in 2023, now faces the challenge of reduced minutes at the City Ground.
Sources close to the striker claim he is open to leaving in search of guaranteed playing time, especially with the Africa Cup of Nations approaching.
His situation comes shortly after returning to training following a serious abdominal injury suffered last May against Leicester City.
The ruptured intestine required emergency surgery and placed him in a medically induced coma before his dramatic recovery months later.
Forest’s transfer activity has placed his role under threat at a time when the club is also facing tension between Nuno and owner Evangelos Marinakis.
If Awoniyi decides to push for a move before the transfer window closes, it could reshape both his career and Forest’s attacking setup this season.
