LIVERPOOL youngster Taiwo Awoniyi is reportedly set to join Dutch side NEC Nijmegen on loan.
Taiwo Awoniyi spent last season on loan with German side FSV Frankfurt
Awoniyi moved to Anfield last summer from Imperial Academy, but he was immediately loaned out to German side FSV Frankfurt.
The Nigerian made 14 appearances for the German second division side last season, scoring once.
Liverpool are keen for him to gain more first-team action next season.
And the Liverpool Echo claim the 18-year-old will now join Eredivisie club NEC Nijmegen on loan.
The report adds the Reds hope a European loan will help the teenager secure a UK work permit in the future.
NEC Nijmegen are managed by Peter Hyballa, who worked with Jurgen Klopp at Borussia Dortmund.
On his relationship with Klopp, Hyballa said: "I've worked with Jurgen Klopp. “I was under-19 coach at Borussia Dortmund. We worked together very well. “He's bigger than me. He has a little more experience and prizes."
