• Club trigger Nigeria striker’s £17m release clause
• Dean Henderson lined up as next signing

Nottingham Forest have broken the club’s transfer record to make striker Taiwo Awoniyi their first signing since being promoted to the Premier League.

The top-flight newcomers have paid Union Berlin £17m for the Nigeria international who has signed a five-year deal at the City Ground after passing a medical on Thursday. Forest beat off stiff competition from a number of clubs in England and Germany for the striker who scored 15 goals in the Bundesliga last season.
