Awoniyi's form with Union Berlin offers him a route to Super Eagles reckoning

The striker has found his feet in the Bundesliga, and could in time prove the perfect deputy for Victor Osimhen at international level

If events in the last three Bundesliga matchdays are to be believed, Taiwo Awoniyi may very well be fitting to run riot in the German top flight.

The transition to professional football has been an unforgiving one for the 23-year-old. On the back of leading Nigeria to victory at the 2013 Fifa Under-17 World Cup, and starring two years later at Under-20 level, Awoniyi signed for Liverpool in 2015 with the world seemingly at his feet.
