3 goals in an entire season in the Dutch league is definitely the way to announce your arrival on the word stage! I expect the best teams in the world to have taken notice. Undoubtedly, he will be playing at Liverpool next season abi? I am excited!!!

Yes it is for a young player. And it is a recent run of form. He will get there (I'm sure you agree don't you?)

Defiant to the bitter end, eh?
You still haven't learnt much, have you?

Shhh.
You may ruffle the feathers of Bushboy and his ilk...
Seriously, for a kid who is still 19, I think he is transitioning well and learning the right way to becoming a good box striker. His Dutch coach mentioned in an interview that he would compare him to a young Ruud Van Nisteroy (which is a good compliment).

That is why the opener of this thread deserves to be mostly ignored. I won't hate on any Nigerian player, but how can anyone see Success Ajayi's game & think it will transition to the senior level better than Awoniyi's. Hopefully Success turns things (and his game) around, because his game thus far is designed for blowing past smaller U-17 players & can work a bit at the senior level in Spain where you have more space and time on the ball.
The next 12 months will be very interesting. I had always insisted that Ideye was our best point man, but with Victor Osimhen, Tammy Abraham & Taiwo Awoniyi, we may just have unbelievable depth upfront, & finally allow Nacho slot into in more natural support striker role.
Let's just take care of business against Cameroun. God sparing our lives and granting us good health, Russia will be sweet.

Taiwo should consider Harry Kane as someone to look to for encouragement. No one would have believed in Harry at age 19!!

And he is already better than Kane was @ 19.

Awoniyi continued his delightful goalscoring streak by netting a third goal in as many games to help NEC Nijmegen to a crucial 3-1 relegation playoff first-leg win over FC Emmen.
Incredibly, the Nigerian came off the bench to score for the third game running, netting his side’s third goal with a finish of such class that it leaves you wondering how he went eight months without a scoring.
After collecting a loose ball on the edge of the box, Awoniyi produced some dazzling footwork to skip inside and create an angle to shoot, sending a classy curling finish into the far corner.
Awoniyi’s hot streak came to a disappointing end on Sunday, however, with the Nigerian frustratingly an unused sub in his side’s 1-0 second-leg win—a result which edges NEC closer to Eredivisie survival.

This was a home and away tie which they pretty much had locked down after the first leg match which Taiwo played in. I suspect they may have been resting him for the next round of the playoffs which determines if they are relegated or stay in the first division.
I would suggest you hold of on any comments until the last 2 playoff matches are completed on Thursday and Sunday of this week
I am hoping his team and Kelechi Nwakali's teams both win their playoff matches to stay in the first division so that they are guaranteed top flight soccer if Liverpool and Arsenal decide to keep them loaned out next season
