Liverpool who are Premier League giants have reportedly placed eight of their players on transfer market ahead of the coming season in which Nigerian star Taiwo Awoniyi is among.

Taiwo Awoniyi has been with the Anfield landlords for the past six years and has not played any professional game for the Reds due to work transfer work permit which he recently got.

And since his move to Liverpool from Nigerian Academy Imperial Soccer, Taiwo Awoniyi has been playing on loan from the Reds and was at Union Berlin last season in Germany.

But despite getting his work permit, Liverpool seem not to be ready to give the Nigerian the chance to wear their jersey in the coming Premier League season.

The European League is currently on break and most coaches are watching the EURO 2020 to see who and who they can sign to bolster their teams.

According to the report on Soccernet, Taiwo Awoniyi is among the eight players Jurgen Klopp wants out of Anfield in the transfer window.

Others are Origi, Shaqiri, Karius, Minamino, Harry Wilson, Grujic, Sheyi Ojo and Liam Millar.

Taiwo Awoniyi is not expected to have any problem on him getting another club as the likes of Stoke City and Fulham are already interested in him according to the72uk.

Taiwo Awoniyi who is currently spending his holiday in Kwara state was impressed with Kwara United's game against Jigawa Golden Stars and decided to make the players happy after the game.

Kwara United went into the encounter against Jigawa Golden Stars with the aim of redeeming themselves having lost their last away game against Akwa United in Uyo.
