Liverpool Sign 20-Year-Old Forward Taiwo Awoniyi to New Long-Term Deal

Liverpool have signed Nigerian forward Taiwo Awoniyi to a new long-term deal.

The 20-year-old joined the Reds in 2015 and spent last season on loan in Belgium with Royal Excel Mouscron, where he scored 10 goals and assisted four others. He's likely to proceed on loan again this summer, but not before committing his future to the Anfield side.

A statement on the Reds' website reads: "Taiwo Awoniyi has today signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool FC."

The player has said that he feels excited now having signed a new deal with the club, especially after an 'amazing year'.
