Liverpool have ratified the signing of Nigerian prospect Taiwo Awoniyi after fending off interest from Porto and Monaco.
Liverpool won the race for the 18-year-old striker’s signature and he has joined the club from Imperial Academy, Nigeria.
The initial fee will be in the region of £800,000 but that could rise to £3million with add-ons.
This is the biggest club in the world and I’m privileged to be here. I’ll try to develop myself very well so that when I come back to Liverpool I’ll be able to add value to the team – Awoniyi told Liverpool official website
Not qualified to earn a work permit immediately, the striker has immediately been loaned out to German side FSV Frankfurt 1899.
Big COngrats Taiwo!
