Nigeria international Taiwo Awoniyi is close to completing a permanent move from Nottingham Forest to newly promoted Premier League side Coventry City.
Coventry have reached an agreement with Forest for the striker, with the transfer now subject to the completion of his medical.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that the two clubs have reached a full agreement, with Awoniyi expected to be officially unveiled by Coventry once the formalities are completed.
Lampard adds another Nigerian to squad
Awoniyi is set to become the second Nigeria international signed by Coventry manager Frank Lampard since the club secured promotion to the Premier League.
He will join compatriot Frank Onyeka, who moved to the Sky Blues from Brentford at the end of last season.
Lampard is strengthening his squad ahead of Coventry’s return to the English top flight, with Awoniyi bringing considerable Premier League experience to the attack.
The 28-year-old spent the past four seasons at Nottingham Forest after joining the club from Union Berlin in 2022.
Awoniyi leaves Forest after four years
Awoniyi made 103 appearances for Forest across all competitions, scoring 23 goals and providing six assists.
Twenty-one of those goals came in the Premier League, where he made 90 appearances during his time at the City Ground.
