Newly promoted Premier League outfit Coventry City have announced the permanent signing of Super Eagles midfielder Frank Onyeka from Brentford, Footynaija.com reports.
Onyeka, who made a deadline day loan switch to Coventry City from Brentford midway through the 2025/2026 season, played a major role in helping the Sky Blues secure promotion back to the English top flight.
During his temporary stay at the Coventry Building Society Arena, the Nigeria international made 14 EFL Championship appearances, contributing massively to an impressive run of ten wins, 3 draws and the odd defeat.

Onyeka’s loan deal included an obligatory purchase option in the event of Coventry’s promotion to the Premier League and the Sky Blues have now officially triggered that clause following the opening of the summer transfer window.
Reacting to the move, the former Midtjylland FC star told Coventry’s official website; “I’m really excited for the new season with Coventry.
“When I first joined last season, I came here with two goals and that was to win the Championship and help Coventry get promoted to the Premier League.
“I’m really happy to now be a Coventry player back in the Premier League. I will give everything to the team, fight for every ball, fight for my teammates and bring my experience.
“My ambition now is to help the Club stay in the Premier League and finish as high as we can.”
Onyeka brings a wealth of Premier League experience having played 75 league matches in the top-flight during his spell with Brentford. The Super Eagles star will now be hoping he can have a similar level of impact for Coventry City in the Premier League.
