Taiwo Awoniyi transfer to Coventry City

Overview

Taiwo Awoniyi has completed his permanent transfer from Nottingham Forest to Coventry City. The deal is reportedly valued between £17 million and €20 million, bringing the 29-year-old Nigerian striker to the newly promoted Premier League side to bolster attacking options under manager Frank Lampard.

Awoniyi’s move follows a period of injury struggles, including a serious abdominal injury in 2025 that required surgery. His departure from Nottingham Forest was marked by an emotional farewell at the City Ground, where players, staff, and fans provided a guard of honour during a pre-season friendly against Brest.

During his four-year tenure at Forest, Awoniyi scored 23 goals in 103 appearances. At Coventry City, he is expected to reunite with fellow Nigerian international Frank Onyeka as the club prepares for its first season in the top flight after a 25-year absence.
