Kalmar Surprised By News That Liverpool Are On The Brink Of Signing Awoniyi

Kalmar FF are surprised by news that Liverpool are set to snap up Nigerian whizkid Taiwo Awoniyi.

Kalmar have a pre-contract with the teen, who was expected to sign with the Swedes when he turns 18 this month.

However, Awoniyi could now sign for Liverpool. In such an event, Kalmar may seek to take the youngster on-loan and could even be due some compensation.

The club’s sports director Andersson Borstam was quoted as saying by tribalfootball.com: “He has done fantastically well and there’s been around 10-15 clubs who are interested in him.

“It is likely that he ends up in a big club, even if we are not hundred percent sure how this ends.

“We’ll see what this can mean for us, we’re not quite sure on everything yet.”
