\"Taiwo<\/p>\n

Taiwo Awoniyi has been nominated for the Nottingham Forest Fans’ Footballer of the Year 2023 award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was named alongside Orel Mangala, Danilo and Morgan Gibbs-White for the award whose winner will be decided by fans’ votes.<\/p>\n


\nThe Super Eagles forward has been in stellar form in the past 12 months and played no small part in Forest preserving their Premier League status last season.<\/p>\n


\nThe former Liverpool striker was the top scorer for Steve Cooper’s side, scoring 10 goals, six of which he bagged in the last in the last four matches.<\/p>\n


\nHe has also started this season on a good note, mustering 4 goals and two assists in 10 league games this season including strikes against Manchester United and Arsenal and is Nottingham Forest’s top scorer in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup winner is currently recovering from a groin injury which will keep him out till next year and has made his participation at the Africa Cup of Nations highly unlikely.<\/p>\n


\nUndoubtedly, Forest have looked better with the presence of the Nigerian striker and his struggles with injuries have affected their performances this season.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

They currently sit 15th in the Premier League standings, six points adrift of a place in the relegation zone.<\/p>\n
