Coventry City, the newly promoted Premier League side, have secured the services of Nigerian international, Taiwo Awoniyi, from Nottingham Forest. This transfer has been finalized through a club-to-club agreement, as confirmed by transfer market expert, Fabrizio Romano. Awoniyi, a forward, is set to join Coventry City permanently, signing a long-term contract with the Sky Blues.
The 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup champion is currently undergoing medicals in preparation for his official introduction by Coventry City. He will become the second Nigerian international to join the club, following Frank Onyeka, who transferred from Brentford at the end of the previous season. Awoniyi's move to Coventry City is his final contract year, having previously joined the club from Union Berlin in 2022.
During his four-year stint at Nottingham Forest, Awoniyi made a significant impact, scoring 23 goals and providing six assists in 103 matches across all competitions. His contributions were particularly noteworthy in the Premier League, where he scored 21 goals and made 90 appearances. Previously a prospect at Liverpool, Awoniyi's move to Coventry City bolsters the squad with another talented Nigerian talent.
