Overview

  • Coventry City and Birmingham City have registered interest in taking Frank Onyeka on loan, according to reports from Sky Sports and the Daily Mail, with no deal agreed.
  • Valencia have made an approach to Brentford, but progress is described as stalled due to Onyeka’s Africa Cup of Nations commitments with Nigeria.
  • Coventry, leading the Championship, are seeking reinforcements for a promotion push, and Frank Lampard says he would consider strengthening his midfield.
  • Birmingham, sitting 14th, remain in the race for Onyeka while working on a more advanced deal for Girona’s Jhon Solis, per Birmingham Live.
  • Onyeka has had limited minutes for Brentford after a loan at Augsburg, but he logged significant AFCON action with strong passing and duel numbers reported by FotMob.
