Taiwo Awoniyi pens new Liverpool deal

Liverpool have revealed that Taiwo Awoniyi has penned a new long-term contract at Anfield.

On Tuesday evening, the Premier League giants confirmed that Rhian Brewster had signed a five-year deal, and Awoniyi has followed suit by committing himself to the Merseyside outfit until 2021.

Awoniyi has just returned from a loan spell with Excel Mouscron - where he scored 10 goals for the Belgian top-flight side - but the forward has suggested that he will spend another year away from the North-West outfit.

The 20-year-old told the club's official website: "I'm a Liverpool player for more years and the plan is to keep on working hard and hopefully get back here one day.

"At the moment, I don't have a work permit. I'll go on loan again and keep on working hard as much as I can."

Awoniyi has also spent time out on loan at FSV Frankfurt and NEC respectively.
