Coventry City have reached an agreement to sign Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka in a move aimed at strengthening their promotion push in the Championship, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The deal is expected to be completed as a loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, all parties have agreed terms, with Onyeka set to leave Brentford in search of regular playing time. The Nigerian international has found opportunities limited this season, featuring for just 88 minutes across all competitions for the Bees.
A move to Coventry is seen as an opportunity for the energetic midfielder to rediscover his best form and regain match sharpness. The Sky Blues have enjoyed an impressive campaign and currently sit top of the Championship table with 58 points, although recent consecutive defeats to Norwich City and QPR have slightly stalled their momentum.
Onyeka’s arrival is expected to add steel, energy, and experience to Coventry’s midfield as they look to steady the ship and maintain their promotion charge. The 28-year-old boasts valuable top-level experience, having played in the Premier League and Bundesliga, and remains a key figure for the Super Eagles, with 41 senior international caps to his name.
