Super Eagles forward, Taiwo Awoniyi, has garnered attention in the English Premier League by achieving the record for the highest shot conversion rate since last season.
Despite facing injury setbacks and sitting out 12 games for Nottingham Forest, Awoniyi has outperformed notable players such as Erling Haaland, Hee-Chan Hwang, Callum Wilson, Diogo Jota, and Ivan Toney.
Reports indicate that Awoniyi currently boasts an impressive 28.6% shot conversion rate, surpassing Manchester City’s Haaland, who holds a 26.1% conversion rate. This accomplishment is particularly notable considering Haaland’s higher goal tally of 52 compared to Awoniyi’s 16 since the beginning of last season.
