Former Coventry City striker Clinton Morrison believes Taiwo Awoniyi has rediscovered his hunger and sharpness and can play a key role in helping the newly promoted side retain their Premier League status, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Awoniyi joined Coventry from Nottingham Forest in a reported £9m move during the summer and has been handed the opportunity to lead Frank Lampard’s attack following the club’s return to the topflight after a 25-year absence.
The 29-year-old endured an injury-hit spell at Forest, making his opportunities limited during his final seasons at the club, but Morrison believes a fresh start at Coventry could bring out the best in the Nigerian.
Speaking to GOAL, Morrison said, “He looks much better. He looks hungry.
“He didn’t really play at Forest. It was a bit of a stop-start. He had injuries. And then when you’re not number one and you’re coming off the bench for five minutes here and there, you’re not going to get confidence.
