The striker is yet to play in an officials game for Liverpool since he arrived at the club for a fee of around £400,000. Awoniyi signed a contract extension with Liverpool in 2018, which expires in 2023.

The 23-year-old has spent time on loan with clubs in Holland, Belgium and Germany. He is currently playing with German Bundesliga side Union Berlin but could be making a return to his mother club depending on his performance in the pre-season.

He has so far scored five goals and bagged three assists in 21 league appearances for Union Berlin during the last campaign.
