According to West Ham supporters, Nottingham Forest have informed West Ham that they will only consider a straight buy for Awoniyi or a loan with a buyout clause for around £30 million.
West Ham are reluctant to spend a lot of money on a player with Awoniyi's injury history and goal-scoring ability.

He has mostly been the backup striker since Nuno Espirito Santo took over as coach in December 2023.
