His stellar contributions on the pitch have earned him a nomination for the EPL Player of the Month award for the month of August.
Awoniyi’s remarkable form has been nothing short of sensational. Throughout August, he has consistently demonstrated his scoring prowess, netting three goals and providing a crucial assist that led to Anthony Elanga’s winning goal in a thrilling match against Chelsea just before the international break.

Nottingham Forest fans and football enthusiasts alike have been left in awe of Awoniyi’s incredible performances, which have propelled his club to an impressive position in the league standings. His nomination for the Player of the Month award is a testament to his exceptional contributions on the field.
However, Awoniyi faces stiff competition for the coveted award, with other top-notch players also in the running.

Meanwhile, the following players have also made it to the list of nominees: Jarod Bowen from West Ham United, James Maddison from Tottenham Hotspur, Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, and Kaoru Mitoma from Brighton & Hove Albion.
In addition to the Player of the Month nominations, the EPL Manager of the Month award is up for grabs.
