Taiwo Awoniyi: Liverpool will always be my priority

Taiwo Awoniyi said his focus remains playing for Liverpool as he hopes to fulfil his life-long dream of featuring in the Premier League.

The 23-year-old joined the Reds in August 2013 after helping Nigeria win the Fifa U17 World Cup that year, but he is yet to play a competitive game for the club due to the failure to secure a work permit in the UK.

Awoniyi is currently on his seventh loan spell at Union Berlin where he has scored five goals in 19 Bundesliga matches this season.

Following the review of the work permit requirements post-Brexit, the Nigeria youth star is hopeful of his chances to play for Liverpool after his regular appearances in the German top-flight this season.
