Nottingham Forest look to the Bundesliga as they hold talks with Union Berlin's Taiwo Awoniyi and Mainz captain Moussa Niakhate in hope of Premier League survival

Nottingham Forest have held talks with Union Berlin over a deal for former Liverpool forward Taiwo Awoniyi.

The 24-year-old scored 20 goals in 43 appearances last season, including 15 in 31 in the Bundesliga.

Union Berlin is the first club he has spent more than one season at. If he were to join Forest, it would be his ninth club in eight years.
