Nottingham Forest's manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, has faith that Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi will return to his best.
This season, Awoniyi has struggled to build on his last season’s performance, which has seen his playing time limited.
The forward has failed to find the back of the net this season and has seen his place taken by Chris Woods.
Wood has scored eight goals this season and his form has made fans worried about the future of the Super Eagles star.
