He was given a hero’s farewell at the City Ground, which is testament to the good relationships he has built during his time at Nottingham.

Awoniyi will be looking to perform well at his new club and at least, help them stay afloat in the Premier League next season.

Victor Osimhen Still in the News

The 27-year-old marksman is believed to be the number one man on the Gunners’ list to replace Viktor Gyokeres, who could be sold this summer.

However, Galatasaray are unwilling to do business. Even the player has consistently reiterated that he is happy in Istanbul. As a result, the talks have continued.
