Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi has officially departed Nottingham Forest and is set to join newly promoted Coventry City. Forest's manager, Olivier Glasner, confirmed the player's transfer to the CBS Arena. Awoniyi, who has been struggling with consistent performances since joining Forest from Union Berlin, has had a challenging season but still managed to score three goals and provide two assists in his final six matches.
Despite his contributions, his position behind established forwards Chris Wood and Igor Jesus has made his future at Forest uncertain. The 27-year-old is said to have received a guard of honour from his teammates before bidding farewell to Forest supporters during a substitution against Brest. Coventry City has reportedly agreed to pay £17m for Awoniyi, who will be eager to secure regular playing time and regain his best form in his new club.
