Nigerian striker Taiwo Awoniyi has completed a reported £9 million move to Coventry City, giving the club an experienced attacking option as it looks to strengthen its squad.
A new chapter
Awoniyi has built his career across several European leagues before establishing himself in English football.
His physical presence, movement and experience have made him an important option in attack when fit.
What Coventry are getting
Awoniyi brings more than goals.
He has experience competing against elite defenders and playing under the pressure associated with top-level English football.
Nigerian footballers abroad
The transfer also continues a long tradition of Nigerian players building careers across European football.
From England to Germany, Italy, France and Spain, Nigerian footballers remain a major part of the international football ecosystem.
A fresh start
Every transfer comes with expectations.
For Coventry, the investment creates pressure for results. For Awoniyi, it is an opportunity to demonstrate what he can still offer at the highest level.
The next chapter will be decided on the pitch.
