Royal Mouscron Will Always Have My Respect - Awoniyi

By Sampson Adedeji

Nigeria international and Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi has stated that he will always respect Belgian Jupiler League side Royal Excel Mouscron.

The Mainz 05 striker spent two successful seasons with the Belgian side and scored 21 goals in 36 appearances for the club.

"Of course I played more games and got the chance I deserved. I had a great time in Mouscron.

"Football is about your presence being felt and making good use of the chances that comes your way and I think I had both while at Mouscron last season.

"I had two years in Belgium which were great seasons for me and there are lots of reasons why I chose to leave, but Mouscron will always be a club that I respect a lot.

"Leaving for me had always been the plan between me, Liverpool and my agent to fulfil my goals and targets, as I continue to develop my football," he told tribal football.

Despite Mainz 05 negotiating his loan extension, Awoniyi is expected to return to Anfield at the end of the season. Taiwo Awoniyi sustained an serious head injury while playing for Mainz 05 and will soon return back to the pitch.
