In the meantime, one Nigerian, Taiwo Awoniyi is set to make a big transfer.

Taiwo Awoniyi to Join Coventry City

At the end of last season, Taiwo Awoniyi’s future at Nottingham Forest was hanging in the balance, as he had one year left on his contract and was a top candidate to leave the City Ground due to his inconsistent game time.

But since the summer started, there hasn’t been a lot of talk about his future.

However, in a shocking move on Saturday evening, news broke that he is set to join newly-promoted Premier League club Coventry City in a permanent transfer. Here’s what we know so far.

Femi Azeez Transfer Update

A sharp contrast to Awoniyi, Super Eagles midfielder Femi Azeez has been in the transfer news all summer, but he is yet to get a move.

He was one of the best players in the English Championship last season, contributing 11 goals and seven assists in 37 appearances. His brilliance was a key reason for Millwall reaching third place in the Championship last season.

This summer, he has been linked with several clubs like Aston Villa, Ipswich Town, Hull City, and other clubs in the Premier League, but nothing concrete has happened. See the latest Azeez transfer update here.
