Coventry and Birmingham in Loan Race for Brentford’s Frank Onyeka as Valencia Lodge Approach

Talks are constrained by the player's AFCON duty.

Overview

  • Coventry City and Birmingham City are pursuing a loan for the 28-year-old midfielder, according to reports from the Daily Mail and Sky Sports cited by local outlets.
  • Sky Sports reports that Valencia have made an approach for Onyeka, though progress has stalled due to his involvement with Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.
  • Frank Lampard said he is open to reinforcing Coventry’s midfield if the right option arises, following links to Onyeka and other targets.
  • Onyeka has had limited minutes for Brentford this season, with reports listing six Premier League appearances and no starts after last year’s loan at Augsburg.
  • Coverage notes that Coventry lead the Championship under Lampard, while Birmingham sit mid-table under Chris Davies and are seeking midfield additions in January.
