COVENTRY City have completed the signing of Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy.
The Nigeria international’s loan deal will become permanent if Coventry achieve promotion to the Premier League at the end of the season.
Onyeka becomes the club’s fourth signing of the January transfer window following the arrivals of Yang Min-hyeok, Romain Esse and Jahnoah Markelo.
Onyeka said: “I’m very happy to be here.
“I’m a strong midfielder, I’m a winner and I always want to fight for my teammates.
“My aim is to give 100 per cent, bring my experience and help the team get promoted to the Premier League and bring glory to the city again.
“I’m very excited to get going and I’m ready to give my all for Coventry.”
Coventry beat Championship rivals Birmingham City and Sheffield United and La Liga side Valencia to the midfielder’s signature.
The 28-year-old helped Nigeria reach the semi-finals of this year’s AFCON where they lost to hosts Morocco on penalties.
Onyeka has made just six substitute appearances for the Bees in the Premier League this season.
He spent the 2024/25 campaign on loan at FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga.
The central midfielder has made 75 appearances for Brentford in the Premier League across five seasons.
He started his career in Denmark at Midtjylland where he scored 14 goals in 95 appearances.
