Coventry City have confirmed the permanent signing of Super Eagles midfielder Frank Onyeka from Brentford for an undisclosed fee, Bold Sports reports.
The Sky Blues announced the deal on Monday through their official website and social media platforms, with the transfer set to come into effect from Wednesday, July 1.
Onyeka initially joined Coventry on loan in January and quickly established himself as a key figure in Frank Lampard’s side. The Nigeria international played an instrumental role as the Sky Blues clinched the Sky Bet Championship title and secured a return to the Premier League for the first time in 25 years.
The 28-year-old made 14 appearances during his loan spell, scoring a stunning goal in a crucial victory over Derby County in April as Coventry’s promotion push gathered momentum.
