Squad depthGoal-getting Centre-forward

T. Awoniyi is a 28-year-old centre-forward at Nottingham Forest, rated 52 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.9 goal contributions per 90 (0.72 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Awoniyi.

On the season, Awoniyi graded 17 for current form (age-blind), on 4 goals and 1 assist in 17 appearances (0.896 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 52. At 28 Awoniyi is in his prime years, and a market index of 37.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Awoniyi missed 4 games through injury (muscle, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

4 goals in 17 appearances (0.24 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 5 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.9 goal contributions per 90 (0.72 goals, 0.18 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 16.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 52 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.9 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
