Everton are weighing up a late move for Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi as the January transfer window approaches its final days.
The 27-year-old Nigerian forward has struggled for regular game time this season, often playing second fiddle to New Zealand international Chris Wood in Forest’s attacking setup. Despite his limited minutes, Awoniyi remains a sought-after talent in the Premier League.
Although the former Union Berlin striker has publicly expressed his desire to stay at the City Ground, speculation over his future continues to intensify.
West Ham United have already been linked with a potential move, and now Everton have reportedly joined the race for his signature.
The Toffees, currently looking to bolster their attacking options, see Awoniyi as a possible late addition to Sean Dyche’s squad. With Everton battling to secure safety in the Premier League, adding firepower to their frontline is a priority.
Awoniyi has endured a challenging campaign, managing just one goal in 20 league appearances for Forest this season.
However, his physicality, work rate, and previous goal-scoring exploits make him an attractive option for clubs in need of attacking reinforcements.
With the transfer deadline fast approaching, it remains to be seen whether Everton will make a concrete bid or if Awoniyi will remain at Nottingham Forest for the rest of the season.
