Why I Want To Leave Liverpool- Awoniyi

Nigerian Forward and Liverpool loanee, Taiwo Awoniyi, has given reasons why he wants to call it quit from his parent club Liverpool FC.

Awoniyi 23, signed for Liverpool in 2015 but has failed to make any appearance for the club due to his inability to secure a work permit as he has been on the loan list to several clubs in the past five years.

In an interview with ESPN, Awoniyi said that his inability to secure a work permit made his playing for Liverpool an impossible task.

“It is my dream to play for Liverpool.

“But me playing for Liverpool has to do with getting my work permit.

“Without it, there is no chance for me discussing about playing for Liverpool for now.”

The forward has played on loan with Mainz, Gent, NEC, Mouscron, FSV Frankfurt and currently plays for Union Berlin.

He says he wishes to call it quit with Liverpool so he can secure a permanent club as his loan status makes it difficult to have advantage over regular players in the teams he played in.

“This season was maybe a bit tough to make the decision because honestly, I was hoping to leave permanently.

“Liverpool have been great, they have been so supportive and we always talk with the director and every time, they tell me to be patient.

“But the reason I discussed something permanent this season was just that I felt most loans I have been to, have not really been the way I want it.

“And I felt like it happens that way because the loan players get less of an advantage than the players of their own club.

“That was what made me think, okay, maybe it’s time to find a home with my family.”
