Fans of German Bundesliga side Union Berlin say newly signed Nigerian forward Taiwo Awoniyi is as important to them like Erling Haaland is to Borussia Dortmund.
The Nigerian has started the season like a house on fire with three goals in the first two games of the season after his brace against Finnish side KuPS in the Europa Conference League.
He opened his season account with the only goal for Union Berlin in the 1-1 draw against Bayern Leverkusen. This weekend he will be aiming to be among the goals when they take on Hoffenheim tomorrow in the Bundesliga.
Already he has warmed himself to the fans of the team and also proved those who doubted his ability when the club decided to sign him permanently from Liverpool in a record deal. He spent last season on loan at the club.
Injury took the hit of his fine start to the season last season but he did enough to convince the team to splash over €7 million to sign him permanently. The biggest outlay in their history.
