Taiwo Awoniyi Subject to CSKA Moscow Interest as Liverpool Set Asking Price for 21-Year-Old

Liverpool forward Taiwo Awoniyi could be on the move to Russia this summer, as CSKA Moscow are reported to have made enquiries about the Nigerian's availability.

The 21-year-old spent last season out on loan in Belgium, joining Gent for the first half of the campaign and then heading to Mouscron in January, where he would score 11 goals in 16 appearances.

The prolific stint served to cement his status as a potentially valuable asset to the Reds, who had planned to send him out on loan, but now feel they could sell him for as much as £15m.
