Liverpool striker Awoniyi set to complete £6.5m Union Berlin transfer

The 23-year-old has been at Anfield since 2015 but has not been able to play for the club due to work permit issues

Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi is set to join Union Berlin in a £6.5million (€7.5m/$9m) deal, Goal can reveal.

The Nigerian spent last season on loan with the Bundesliga outfit, but will now move to the German capital on a permanent basis after Union beat rivals Mainz to the 23-year-old’s signature.

Awoniyi has been away with Liverpool’s first-team squad at their pre-season training camp in Austria, but is undergoing a medical on Tuesday ahead of his switch to Union, whose own training camp is in Tirol.
