Coventry City have agreed a deal to sign Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi from Nottingham Forest on a permanent transfer.

A club-to-club agreement has been reached between the two sides, with Awoniyi now undergoing his medical ahead of completing the move.

The transfer will see the experienced forward join Frank Lampard’s Coventry City squad as the club look to strengthen their attacking options.

Awoniyi, who has Premier League experience with Nottingham Forest, is expected to provide an additional attacking threat for Lampard.
