Nigeria U23 Star Taiwo Awoniyi Rated Liverpool's Best Loanee

Nigeria U23 international Taiwo Awoniyi was officially named the most productive Liverpool loanee in the last round of matches in the European leagues this past weekend.

The Royal Excel Mouscron attacker needed only 23 minutes to score on his debut against Lokeren on August 12, and followed up his fine performance with another in his team's 3-2 win over Gent.

In their weekly review of loanees, Liverpool stated : ''Taiwo Awoniyi enjoyed the most productive weekend of Liverpool's loan players, setting up a goal as Royal Excel Mouscron completed a late comeback to beat 10-man Gent 3-2 on Sunday night.

''The forward played the whole game in the Belgian top flight and created the second''.

England U20 international Sheyi Ojo watched proceedings from the bench in Fulham's 1-0 loss to Sheffield Wednesday.
