5 goals and 1 assist in last 8 games: Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi is shining in Bundesliga

• Taiwo Awoniyi hasn't had a very memorable career so far - signed by Liverpool in 2015, the 23-year-old has yet to play a single game for the Reds.
• That's primarily due to his work permit issues, as the Nigerian international still hasn't been allowed to play in the Premier League.
• However, after a few seasons out on loan, the young attacker is finally starting to find his feet at Union Berlin.
• Here are Awoniyi's stats so far this season:

5 goals (all in his last 8 appearances)

2 assists

1.5 shots per game

0.8 key passes per game

0.8 dribbles per game

• Awoniyi's goals have helped Union Berlin climb to the 5th spot in the Bundesliga table.
• With the Nigerian firing in the goals in the German league, it is only a matter of time until the long-awaited call-up to Nigeria’s national team is received.
• If he gets an international cap under his belt, he may finally be able to get the work permit he needs to begin his journey at Anfield.
• We can't say for sure whether the attacker will ever make it big with Liverpool, but we do hope that his good form continues!
