Nottingham Forest are reportedly assessing the future of Nigerian forward Taiwo Awoniyi ahead of the summer transfer window, despite the striker’s recent resurgence in form under manager Vítor Pereira.
According to reports from Football Insider, Forest remain open to the possibility of parting ways with the Super Eagles striker as the club prepares for a crucial summer of squad restructuring.
Awoniyi arrived at the City Ground in the summer of 2022 following an outstanding spell with Bundesliga side Union Berlin, where his goalscoring exploits established him as one of Europe’s most promising forwards.
However, his time in England has been heavily affected by recurring injury setbacks that disrupted both his rhythm and consistency.
The 27-year-old endured a frustrating start to the current campaign, struggling for regular game time and even finding himself omitted from Nottingham Forest’s UEFA Europa League squad earlier in the season.
Despite those difficulties, the Nigerian international has enjoyed a remarkable turnaround in recent weeks. Since Pereira’s arrival, Awoniyi has shown signs of rediscovering the sharpness and confidence that made him one of Forest’s key attacking figures.
One of his standout moments came in Forest’s impressive victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where the former Liverpool striker delivered a clinical brace to inspire his side to a crucial result.
Awoniyi has continued his strong finish to the season with an impressive return of three goals and two assists in his last five appearances, playing an important role in helping Nottingham Forest secure their Premier League status.
However, despite his recent contributions, reports suggest the club are still evaluating whether to cash in on the striker as part of wider plans to reshape the squad ahead of next season.
With only one year remaining on his current contract, Awoniyi is expected to attract interest from several clubs should Forest decide to place him on the market during the upcoming transfer window.
