Taiwo Awoniyi’s Message to Nottingham Forest: A Farewell That Has Left Fans Heartbroken
Taiwo Awoniyi’s Nottingham Forest chapter is coming to an emotional end, and the scenes at the City Ground have left supporters struggling to say goodbye.
The Nigerian striker is closing in on a reported £17 million move to newly promoted Coventry City after four years at Forest. Ahead of the move, he received a special farewell during Forest’s final pre-season match against Brest, including a guard of honour from his teammates and staff.
Awoniyi joined Forest in 2022 and quickly became an important figure in the club’s rise and Premier League journey. He made 103 appearances, scoring 23 goals, and earned a special place in the hearts of supporters.
What made the farewell particularly emotional was the reaction from inside the dressing room. Forest players lifted Awoniyi into the air as supporters applauded, creating a powerful moment that showed how highly regarded he remains within the club.
Manager Oliver Glasner also praised the striker’s character, describing him as someone who was always friendly and smiling and explaining that people throughout the club appreciated him.
For Forest supporters, this is more than simply another transfer. Awoniyi was part of a memorable period in the club’s recent history, and his departure has triggered a wave of emotional reactions from fans.
The transfer may ultimately give him an opportunity for more regular football at Coventry, but his time at Forest will not be forgotten easily.
From the goals to the celebrations and the difficult moments in between, Awoniyi leaves behind memories that will remain with the Forest faithful.
Goodbye, Taiwo. You will always be part of the Forest story.
