Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi has penned a new long-term contract with English Premier League side Liverpool, as he looks to fight for a place under German Coach, Jurgen Klopp with already a handful of strikers at his disposal.
The 20-year-old striker who got married to the love of his life a few months ago joined Liverpool after his brilliant performance at the under U-20 World cup in 2015.
Since making the move, he has been on loan at Belgium club side Royal Excel Mouscron and this new contract is likely to see him move again to another club on another loan move.
After signing, the striker told the club website Liverpoolfc.com, that he was delighted to have extended his contract, as he looks forward to making it into the team. He said:
“I feel excited and I feel very happy.
“It has been three years since I first came to Liverpool. So far, so good. The last year was the best for me, it has been an amazing year so far.
“I just have to keep working hard each year and I believe one day the dream will come true.
“Thanks to my family, who have been so supportive. I’m very glad and excited about this contract and hopefully to have an even better year.”
