''Whether itβs Firmino, Lewandowski, whoever. I watch the movement, the runs they make, and see what I can learn from them and what I can add.''
Awoniyi added : ''At the moment Firmino is my favourite player. He does things unbelievably well, and I think he should be rated even higher.
''As a young player, when I see him playing I cannot stop watching. What he does, he makes life easy for those around him, Mane, Salah and everybody. He always plays for the team.''
The 20-year-old Awoniyi, who previously enjoyed loan spells at FSV Frankfurt and NEC Nijmegen, has impressed at Belgian side Royal Excel Mouscron this term, scoring 8 goals ( 6 assists) in 29 appearances across all competitions.
