Super Eagles forward Taiwo Awoniyi has reaffirmed his commitment to Nottingham Forest, shutting down rumours linking him to a potential move to West Ham.
Awoniyi has seen limited playing time under Nuno Espírito Santo, who has favoured New Zealand striker Chris Wood over the Nigeria international in recent matches.
This situation has fuelled speculation about Awoniyi’s potential departure from the City Ground, with reports suggesting that West Ham are eager to secure his services.
However, the striker has reaffirmed his commitment to Nottingham Forest, stressing his determination to contribute to the club's success.
