Coventry sign Taiwo Awoniyi from Nottingham Forest in Deadline Day Move
The Nigerian attacker has completed a transfer to the Sky Blues, with Nottingham Forest confirming the departure on a free transfer.
Coventry City have moved to strengthen their attacking options by completing the signing of Taiwo Awoniyi from Nottingham Forest.
The deal was confirmed by both clubs on Saturday, with the forward putting pen to paper on a permanent transfer to the Ricoh Arena.
Awoniyi, who has represented Nigeria at senior international level, passed a medical earlier in the day before finalising personal terms with the Sky Blues.
Nottingham Forest confirmed the departure in an official statement, thanking the player for his contributions during his time at the City Ground.
The transfer marks a new chapter for Awoniyi, who has previously played abroad in Germany and England, most recently featuring for Forest across multiple positions in attack.
Coventry manager Mark Robins welcomed the addition, noting the experience the forward brings to the squad as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The move was completed on deadline day, with the EFL confirming the registration of the transfer just before the window closed.
No transfer fee was disclosed by either party, with reports suggesting the deal went through on a free transfer basis.
Awoniyi is expected to be available for selection in Coventry's next fixture, with the squad looking to build momentum in the early stages of the campaign.
The forward, known for his work rate and link-up play, will add depth to a Coventry attack that has been active in this window.
Forest, meanwhile, will look to reinvest any potential funds into other areas as they aim to secure their place in the top flight.
Both clubs have expressed their best wishes for the player moving forward.
