Liverpool FC has sent Nigeria teenage sensation, Taiwo Awoniyi for a third loan spell. The Nigeria youth international who is yet to make a first-team appearance for Liverpool, has joined Belgian club Mouscron for the season. The striker joined Liverpool on a long-term deal in August 2015 from Imperial Academy in Nigeria.

Awoniyi, who helped Nigeria win the Under-17 World Cup in 2013, spent last season on loan at Dutch side NEC Nijmegen. He also played at the 2015 Under-20 World Cup in New Zealand, netting twice and then helped Nigeria win the 2015 African Under-23 Championship in Senegal.

 

His other loan spell was at German second-tier club FSV Frankfurt in the 2015/16 campaign.
