Coventry City agree deal for Nottingham Forest striker Awoniyi
Summary

Coventry City has agreed to terms with Nottingham Forest for striker Taiwo Awoniyi, with the deal valued at approximately £17 million. This transfer is expected to be finalized before Coventry's Premier League return against Arsenal on Friday. Awoniyi, who joined Forest in 2022 as their record signing, has struggled for playtime recently, missing out on the Europa League squad last season.

Coventry, returning to the Premier League after 25 years, has made several signings in preparation, bolstering their squad ahead of the new season.
