Liverpool Loanee Taiwo Awoniyi Confirms Availability For Friendly Against Brazil

Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi has confirmed that he is available for selection when the Dream Team VI tackles Brazil in a high-profile international friendly in Cariacica, Vitoria, Espirito Santo on March 24.

The FSV Frankfurt frontman will travel to South America full of confidence having been involved in the last four matches contested by the Bornheimer in the 2 Bundesliga.

When asked if his visa to Brazil has been processed, Awoniyi told allnigeriasoccer.com : “Hopefully, next week the visa to Brazil will be ready by God’s grace.”

The FSV Frankfurt number 20 has been given an opportunity to impress the Nigeria U23 handlers ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games after coming up short at the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations in Senegal.

The 18-year-old will compete with Junior Ajayi(CS Sfaxien), Theophilus Somon(HNK šibenik) and Nathan Oduwa(Colchester United) for one of the striking roles against the boys from Brazil.
