COVENTRY City youngster Justin Obikwu has completed a permanent move to fellow Championship side Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee.

The Sky Blues recently recalled Obikwu from his loan spell at Lincoln City in order to facilitate his permanent switch to Loftus Road.

Obikwu scored three goals in 21 appearances for Lincoln as he helped the Imps reach second place in the table.

The 21-year-old did not make a senior appearance for the Sky Blues after signing from Harefield United in 2021.

He signed his first professional contract with Coventry in 2023 before enjoying two loan spells with Grimsby Town in League Two.

Obikwu scored 10 goals in 35 appearances for the Mariners across his two stints with the club.
