Aug 17 : Coventry City announced the signing of Taiwo Awoniyi from fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest on Monday, as media reports said the Nigeria striker joined for a fee of around nine million pounds ($12 million).
• Awoniyi, 29, spent his six years as a Liverpool player on various loan spells and had a stint at Union Berlin before joining Forest in 2022.
• He made 90 Premier League appearances for Forest and scored 21 goals.
• An injury from a collision with the post forced Awoniyi to undergo abdominal surgery in May 2025, during which he was placed in an artificially induced coma.

• Coventry visit Arsenal on Friday for their first Premier League game in 25 years.
