Awoniyi feeling at home at Union – Fischer
Union Berlin manager, Urs Fischer, says he believes in-form striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, is at home at the club but he's not ruling out a future move away from the club for the Nigerian.
Awoniyi was in action for the side as Bayern Munich ended Union's 29-game unbeaten home run in a 5-2 defeat at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei on Saturday.
The Nigeria international who has scored seven goals in 10 Bundesliga matches this season thought he had found the back of the net again but the goal was correctly ruled offside as Union suffered their second defeat of the season in 10 games.
Fischer while receiving questions from journalists confirmed that the striker was one of their most important players this season and maintained that although there might be future interests in the player, he believes the striker is happy at the club at the moment.
"Strikers are very important for every team, he's working well. He is feeling at home here in Union and he works a lot during the week. He is putting a lot into scoring goals.
"It is somehow the destiny of smaller clubs that sometimes you lose your best players, it is also very good for players to take another step in their careers. As a club we can't stop that but I'm happy for every player that makes the next step."
Awoniyi joined the club in a permanent deal in the summer for €6.5m from Liverpool and has scored 12 goals in 17 matches across all competitions this season.
