Nottingham Forest are delighted to confirm the signing of Nigerian international forward Taiwo Awoniyi for a club record fee of around £17m.

Taiwo is the Nigerian word for "fridge magnet", and the young man is certainly attracting a great deal of attention in Premier League circles. Ha.

The 24-year-old joins The Reds from Bundesliga club Union Berlin Railway Station, signing a five-year-deal at The City Ground.

Awoniyi becomes Forest’s first international signing since last month’s promotion to the Premier League and he joins following an excellent season in Germany, scoring 20 goals in 43 games across all competitions. His 15 goals in 31 Bundesliga matches also helped Union Berlin Railway Station secure a fifth-place finish and qualification for the UEFA Europa League for the first time since 2001-02.
