Awoniyi Heads to Coventry | Nottingham News

Taiwo Awoniyi’s move from Nottingham Forest to newly promoted Coventry City is set to finalize before their Premier League opener against Arsenal, marking a dramatic return to the top flight for both player and club. Awoniyi, who joined Forest in 2022 for a club-record £17.2m, scored 23 goals in 103 appearances but struggled for first-team opportunities last season, even missing the Europa League squad. His departure follows a serious intestinal injury in May 2025. Meanwhile, Coventry, making their long-awaited return to the Premier League after 25 years, have bolstered their squad with key signings including Gus Hamer, Carl Rushworth, Loum Tchaouna, Aurele Amenda, and Caleb Yirenkyi. With striker Haji Wright sidelined, Brandon Thomas-Asante and Ellis Simms will lead the attack in their opening match.
