Joins Coventry permanently
Onyeka signed permanently with Coventry City from Brentford for an undisclosed fee, the club announced.
Analysis: Onyeka initially joined on loan in January and played a key role in Coventry's Championship title-winning campaign, making 14 appearances and scoring a crucial goal against Derby County in April. The 28-year-old Nigerian midfielder brings considerable Premier League experience to the Sky Blues having made 75 top-flight appearances during his time at Brentford, giving coach Frank Lampard a physically imposing and technically capable option in the center of the park as the club prepares for life back in the Premier League. His permanent deal comes into effect on July 1.
Could stay in Coventry
Onyeka spent the season on loan at Coventry City from Brentford, with the Sky Blues holding the option to sign his registration permanently once the loan agreement expires on July 1, the club announced.
Analysis: Onyeka brought physical presence and defensive cover to Coventry's engine room throughout their Championship title-winning campaign, providing valuable depth and competition for places as manager Frank Lampard's side secured promotion back to the Premier League. Onyeka's future will now be determined over the coming weeks, with Coventry holding the cards on whether to make the move permanent ahead of their return to the top flight.
