Coventry City, Nottingham Forest and Taiwo Awoniyi
Sunday
Coventry City have officially signed Nigeria striker Taiwo Awoniyi from Nottingham Forest for £9m. The 29-year-old arrives before Coventry’s first Premier League campaign in 25 years after scoring 23 goals across 103 appearances during four seasons at Forest.
The completion follows an earlier agreement between the clubs and gives Frank Lampard another experienced forward while Haji Wright remains injured. Forest gave Awoniyi a guard of honour before his departure, reflecting his importance during the club’s recent rise.
