Awoniyi Excited to Start New Chapter at Coventry City

Nigeria international Taiwo Awoniyi says he is excited to begin a new chapter at Coventry City after completing his move from Nottingham Forest.

The newly promoted Premier League club signed the 29-year-old striker permanently from Forest in a deal reportedly worth around £9 million.

Speaking after completing the transfer, Awoniyi said he was happy to join Coventry and could not wait to get started.

“I’m very happy to complete my move to Coventry City,” Awoniyi said.

“I am very excited about this season, and I can’t wait to get started.”

The Super Eagles forward also praised Coventry’s achievement in securing promotion to the Premier League last season.

“I’m really looking forward to working with my new teammates,” he added.

“I have seen how amazing they have been last season, coming up from the Championship. They were incredible, and now I am just excited to join them and get started for the new season.”

Awoniyi will link up with fellow Nigerian international Frank Onyeka, who also joined Coventry permanently this summer.

The striker spent four seasons at Nottingham Forest, scoring 23 goals in 103 appearances across all competitions before making the move to Coventry.
