Super Eagles midfielder Frank Onyeka has laid out his plans for his new side, Coventry City, after joining on a loan deal, Afrik Foot reports.

The 28-year-old was frozen out of Keith Andrews’ team, playing just 88 minutes for the Bees before heading out to the AFCON 2025 tournament in Morocco.

Since his return, he’s not played a minute at the Gtech Community Stadium. While many were surprised by his decision to join a club in the EFL Championship, Onyeka clarified that his priority is playing time.
