Turkish Club Caykur Rizespor Linked With Move for Taiwo Awoniyi
Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi has been linked with a move to Turkish Super Lig side Caykur Rizespor, who are seeking to strengthen their attack before the new season. Awoniyi endured an injury-hit 2025/26 campaign at Nottingham Forest, scoring four goals and providing one assist in 17 league appearances. He also faced limited opportunities, with Igor Jesus and Chris Wood ahead of him in the attacking pecking order. The 29-year-old has featured regularly during Forest’s pre-season, but a move could offer him the consistent playing time he needs. It remains unclear whether new manager Oliver Gleaner sees him as part of his plans.
