Club chief denies talks with Liverpool over move for striker
LIVERPOOL youngster Taiwo Awoniyi will not be joining Kalmar on loan next season, according to the Swedish club’s sporting director.
Taiwo Awoniyi spent last season on loan with German side FSV Frankfurt
Awoniyi moved to Anfield last summer from Imperial Academy, but he was immediately loaned out to German side FSV Frankfurt.
The Nigerian made 14 appearances for the German second division side last season, scoring once.
He has been linked with another loan move away from Anfield this summer, with Kalmar reportedly interested in the 18-year-old’s services.
But Kalmar’s sporting director Thomas Andersson Borstam has revealed no deal is imminent between the two clubs.
