Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi has been linked with a move to Turkish Super Lig club Caykur Rizespor.

The Black Sea outfit are looking to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season and have identified Awoniyi as a potential target.

The 29-year-old struggled for regular playing time at Premier League club Nottingham Forest last season, largely due to persistent injury problems.

Awoniyi was not registered by Forest for the UEFA Europa League, and was only included in the club’s Premier League squad after his compatriot Ola Aina sustained an injury that ruled him out for most of the first half of the season.

The former Union Berlin forward scored four goals, and provided one assist in 17 league appearances for the Tricky Trees during the 2025/26 campaign.

With Igor Jesus, and Chris Wood ahead of him in the pecking order, Awoniyi could be open to a move away from the City Ground in search of regular playing time.

The Nigeria international has featured regularly for Forest during pre-season, but it remains to be seen whether he has done enough to impress new manager Oliver Gleaner and force his way into his plans for the new campaign.
