Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi is set to leave Nottingham Forest for Coventry City after agreeing to join the new premier club on a permanent transfer.
The move, according to reports, has been concluded, with the forward expected to undergo his medical examination at Coventry City on Saturday.
Awoniyi is expected to work under former Chelsea midfielder, Frank Lampard, who is in charge of Coventry.
The transfer will bring the Nigerian international’s spell at Nottingham Forest to an end after a period that has been disrupted by injuries and competition for places in the club’s attack.
The 27-year-old joined Forest in 2022 and has scored important goals for the club, particularly during their fight to establish themselves in the Premier League.
His move to Coventry represents a fresh opportunity for the striker to revive his career and play a more prominent role under Lampard.
The agreement is understood to be a permanent deal, with the final formalities expected to be completed after the medical.
Awoniyi’s departure will also be closely watched in Nigeria, given his status as one of the country’s established international forwards.
The striker will now hope for a successful medical and a strong start to a new chapter at Coventry City.
