Liverpool striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, has signed for Bundesliga side Mainz on a season-long loan.
The 21-year-old, who joined the English Premier League side from Imperial Soccer Academy, spent last season on loan at Belgian side Royal Excel Mouscron.
An official club statement from the Reds read: “Liverpool can confirm Taiwo Awoniyi has joined FSV Mainz 05 on loan until the end of the season, subject to a completed medical and international clearance.
“The striker will remain with Jürgen Klopp’s former club for the duration of the 2019-20 campaign after the transfer was agreed on Tuesday.”
Awoniyi initially joined the Reds in August 2015, having starred for Nigeria in the U17 World Cup two years earlier.
He signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool in the summer of 2018.
