The 27-year-old Nigerian international has found himself behind Chris Wood in the pecking order at Forest, leading to speculation about his future.

Despite Awoniyi's stated desire to stay at Forest, interest from other clubs has persisted, with West Ham United already linked with a move.

Everton are now reportedly keen on the striker, who has scored just one goal in 20 league appearances for Forest this season.
