African Football report Nigerian teenager Taiwo Awoniyi has moved closer to signing for Liverpool as he is expected to fly out to England for a medical.
“He will leave this week for England to sign his contract with Liverpool and that is why he is not here training with us for the All Africa Games,” said Nigeria Under-23 spokesman Timi Ebikagboro.
Awoniyi, who turned 18 earlier this month, will sign a long-term deal at Anfield and be loaned elsewhere.
The striker has also attracted attention from Monaco, Porto and Red Bull Salzburg.
