Liverpool Striker Taiwo Awoniyi to Join Belgian Side in Second Loan Deal of the Season

Liverpool have confirmed that striker Taiwo Awoniyi has joined Royal Excel Mouscron on loan for the rest of the season.

The 21-year-old had originally been with Jupiler Pro League rivals KAA Gent for the first half of the campaign, but an agreement had been reached with both the Reds and the Belgian side for the loan to be cut short.

Awoniyi had made 22 appearances in all competitions for Gent and scored three goals, but Liverpool have now confirmed via their official club website that his stay at the KAA Gent Stadium has ended.

The club added that the Nigeria youth international has immediately sealed a loan move back to Belgium, but will now instead be lining up for Mouscron, with the new deal subject to international clearance.
