Super Eagles attacker, Taiwo Awoniyi, could be sold by Nottingham in the coming summer transfer window following financial pressure,
According to Soccernet, the Tricky Trees were slammed with a four-point deduction that has found them on the brink of relegation to the second division of the English Football League as they slip below Luton Town into 18th place for breaking Financial Fair Play rules.
Forest are however at risk of committing the same offence next season if they don’t sell one of their top stars in the summer.
As a result of financial constraints, the duo, Nigerian international, Awoniyi and Brazil’s Danilo, are considered valuable assets.
Among them, Awoniyi, with a market value of £24 million, stands out as a prime target for potential suitors.
West Ham United, in particular, emerged as a potential destination for the Nigerian striker as they are interested in signing him.
West Ham showed interest in the striker last summer but had their offer firmly rejected by Forest.
The Hammers are set to move again for the former Liverpool player in the summer.
Awoniyi has already scored twice against West Ham this season
The 26-year-old has scored six league goals this season.
He joined Nottingham Forest from Bundesliga outfit, Union Berlin for £17.5m in June 2022.
