Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi has been named the PFA Community Champion at Nottingham for the 2024\/25 season, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Awoniyi is coming off a torrid campaign at Nottingham Forest. He had to play second fiddle to Chris Wood for the entire campaign and had to deal multiple injuries.<\/p>\n

The former Union Berlin man only managed just one goal in 26 appearances for the Tricky Trees. However, amid all the challenges, Awoniyi still did some good.<\/p>\n
