Nottingham Forest forward Taiwo Awoniyi has penned an heartfelt message to Steve Cooper for helping “make his dream come true”.
Cooper was sacked by Forest on Tuesday following the team’s poor run of form.

Cooper brought Awoniyi to the City Ground last summer.

Awoniyi scored 10 goals in 25 league appearances for Forest last season.
The 26-year-old expressed gratitude to the gaffer for helping him.actualise his dream of playing in the Premier League.
“Thank you for helping me make my big dream come true and bringing out the best in me. All the very best Gaffer,” he shared on Instagram.
The forward is currently sidelined with a groin injury.
