What Frank Lampard has said about Coventry City signing £40k-a-week PL star as Birmingham also lurk


Despite Birmingham City’s rival interest, Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has made clear the team’s position on signing Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka.

Lampard has already used the market to sign wingers Romain Esse and Yang Min-Hyeok on loan from Crystal Palace and Tottenham, respectively. The next player to arrive at the CBS Arena may be a midfielder.



Stoke City defeated Coventry 1-0 in the FA Cup third round, allowing the Sky Blues to concentrate entirely on their Championship promotion campaign.


Given Frank Onyeka’s interest, Frank Lampard is eager to bolster his Coventry City team.



Frank Onyeka, a midfielder for Brentford, has only played in six Premier League games for the Bees this season. Despite helping Nigeria get to the Africa Cup of Nations semifinals, where they were defeated on penalties by Morocco, its hosts.


The Daily Mail claims that Birmingham, a Championship foe, and Lampard’s team are both interested in making loan raids for the 28-year-old.



Onyeka spent the previous season on loan with Bundesliga team Augsburg, where he made 34 appearances across all competitions, after losing favor with Brentford.


“I don’t want to give you the generic answer because I feel like I keep giving it to you,” Lampard said in an interview with Coventry Live regarding his team’s interest in the midfield player.However, if there is any area where the team can be strengthened and this is the general response, then I believe we should consider it. However, I am content with my midfield.

Frank Lampard might be promoted to the Premier League with Frank Onyeka’s assistance.

As Lampard hinted to, Coventry already has a potent midfield, which has allowed them to claim Championship titles before the season’s final stretch.

Jack Rudoni is an attacking threat, while Victor Torp, who has a keen eye for both goals and assists, has been a valuable asset to the Sky Blues.

In addition, Matt Grimes serves as a metronome for Lampard’s team and is among the Championship’s most dependable midfielders.

Onyeka, who has amassed a wealth of elite experience in England, Germany, and Denmark, would undoubtedly bolster Coventry’s ranks, though.

The Brentford player won 166 duels and made 834 successful passes in the Bundesliga last season while on loan at Augsburg, according to FotMob.

Grimes may be able to control Championship games even more with that kind of precision and perseverance.

This month, Coventry has important games against play-off contender Queens Park Rangers, relegation-threatened Norwich City, and fellow promotion-chasers Millwall.

Onyeka might assist the Sky Blues in overcoming those obstacles, and Lampard’s team is well aware of how crucial their matchup with Middlesbrough, who are their competitors for automatic promotion, is next month.

Having already lost twice this season to fellow top-two contenders Ipswich, the CBS Arena team will be keen to overcome Boro.
