Brentford have sold midfielder Frank Onyeka to newly-promoted Coventry City. Onyeka joined Coventry on an initial loan deal in January, with an obligation to make the move permanent if Frank Lampard's side won promotion.

What happened?

The 28-year-old went on to start 13 of his 14 Championship appearances in the second half of the season, helping the Sky Blues secure promotion as the league winners.

Why it matters for Brentford

Brentford have now confirmed Onyeka's permanent departure, ending his five-year association with the club. Onyeka leaves the west London club after featuring in 87 competitive matches, including 75 Premier League appearances.

What comes next?

Onyeka is determined to do all he can to help Coventry avoid an immediate return to the second tier in their first top-flight campaign since 2000-01. Coventry will start the 2026-27 Premier League campaign against reigning champions Arsenal on August 21.
