Newcastle, Southampton and West Ham target Taiwo Awoniyi 'will cost at least £21m' as Union Berlin set their asking price - with his old club Liverpool set to receive 10 per cent of the transfer fee

Newcastle United 'will have to pay £21million to sign ex-Liverpool forward Taiwo Awoniyi' this summer after Union Berlin set their price.

West Ham and Southampton have also been linked with the Nigeria international, 24, who has scored 12 goals in 25 Bundesliga games for Union this season.

Liverpool, who sold Awoniyi to Union last summer following a season on loan there, inserted a clause in the deal that gives them 10 per cent of his next transfer fee.
