Awoniyi Set to Join Onyeka at Coventry City

Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi is set to join compatriot Frank Onyeka at newly promoted Premier League side Coventry City from Nottingham Forest.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says Coventry City and Nottingham Forest have reached an agreement for the permanent transfer of the Nigerian forward.

Awoniyi is currently undergoing his medical ahead of the official announcement of his move to the club.

The 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup winner will become the second Nigerian player signed by manager Frank Lampard since Coventry secured promotion to the Premier League.

Onyeka joined Coventry permanently after an impressive loan spell last season and helped the club secure promotion with 14 Championship appearances, one goal and one assist.
