Huddersfield Town Urged To Make Audacious Move For Liverpool Striker Awoniyi

Published: September 14, 2020

Championship club Huddersfield Town have been urged to consider a move for Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi, who is back in England training with the first team ahead of a departure before the transfer window closes for business.

Terriers top scorer Karlan Grant continues to be linked with an exit from the John Smith's Stadium and his omission from the matchday squad against Norwich City on Saturday would have added credibility to the reports.

Yorkshire Live have identified three possible candidates to replace Grant in the event that he departs Huddersfield Town.

Awoniyi is one of the players, the others being Mo Eisa (Peterborough United) and Kayden Jackson (Ipswich Town).

However, the Nigerian striker has no caps for the Super Eagles, meaning Huddersfield Town have to pay a large transfer fee and pay him high wages before he can qualify for a work permit.

Since joining Liverpool in 2015, Awoniyi has been farmed out on loan to FSV Frankfurt, NEC, Royal Excel Mouscron, KAA Gent and Mainz due to the work permit obstacle.

The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to Scottish Premiership champions Celtic.
