PAOK Mulling Over Move For Liverpool Striker Awoniyi As Replacement For Middlesbrough-Bound Akpom

Akpom's name has been omitted from PAOK's Champions League roster ahead of the game against the Russian club next week.
Awoniyi has been spotted training with Liverpool's first teamers ahead of a departure from Anfield before the close of the summer transfer window.
