Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi is reportedly set to leave the club after four years to join Coventry City.Awoniyi, who joined Forest in 2022, is undergoing a medical ahead of a move to Coventry after a deal was agreed.Awoniyi has played over 100 games for Forest but he’s set to leave for CoventryGettyThe Nigeria international will leave the City Ground on a permanent transfer, just a week before the start of the new season.Coventry manager Frank Lampard is said to have had a big say in signing the forward, pushing to get a move over the line. Awoniyi has featured regularly for Forest during pre-season, scoring one goal under new boss Oliver Glasner in recent weeks.But he is now set to depart following a 45-minute appearance against Bayer Leverkusen in what was the club’s final friendly.Awoniyi on the moveAwoniyi was not guaranteed to be playing first-team football under Glasner this season, due to his many attacking options. Chris Wood, Igor Jesus, Dan Ndoye and Arnaud Kalimuendo are all players who can lead the line for Forest.So, the 29-year-old forward is making a move to their Midlands rivals, joining up with Lampard and Coventry. Awoniyi will depart Forest after making 103 appearances for the club, scoring 23 goals and providing six assists altogether. Last season, he played 17 Premier League games but started just three, scoring four goals and setting up one.He was also left out of their Europa League squad, sitting out of all of their games played on the continent.Lampard is said to have pushed for Coventry to sign Awoniyi from ForestGettyCoventry’s summer business so farChampionship winners Coventry have already made six summer signings, breaking their transfer record multiple times. Ahead of the Premier League campaign, midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi joined the club for £23.1million from Nordsjaelland. Yirenkyi’s move broke the Sky Blues’ record, just as Carl Rushworth’s permanent switch from Brighton did beforehand.They have also re-signed Gustavo Hamer from Sheffield United and added Loum Tchaouna and Aurele Amenda to the squad.Frank Onyeka has also joined permanently from Brentford.It now appears that Awoniyi is going to be the next through the door, joining Haji Wright, Brandon Thomas-Asante and Ellis Simms in attack.Awoniyi could make his Coventry debut in less than a week’s timeGettyWright is suffering from an injury heading into the season, having missed Coventry’s entire build-up to the campaign.So, Awoniyi may well see some game time straight after his move if Lampard wants him leading the line.The Sky Blues take on Premier League champions Arsenal in their opening game on Friday, August 21. talkSPORT will have live commentary of the game from Jim Proudfoot and former Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew.Listen talkSPORT through the website or find us on DAB digital radio through your smart speaker and on 1089 or 1053 AM.Download and listen to all our live commentaries via the talkSPORT app.For the latest odds and bet boosts for every big event, visit talkSPORT BET.Subscribe to the talkSPORT YouTube channel for news, views and analysis plus our regular goals show and for more, follow us on talkSPORT Facebook and talkSPORT on X.
