English Championship leaders have started talks with Premier League side Brentford over signing of Nigeria international midfielder Frank Onyeka in the ongoing January transfer window, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Onyeka who starred for Nigeria at the AFCON playing in almost all their games, as they finished third in the tournament has struggled for game time this season at Brentford.
Head coach of Coventry Frank Lampard sees the 28 year old as someone, who will help cement their quest to make it to the Premier League at the end of the season with his experience.
According to Sky Sports both loan and permanent arrangements are thought to have been discussed, with the Sky Blues seemingly leading the chase.
Sheffield United and Birmingham are still said to be keen but only Coventry and Spanish outfit Valencia are believed to have made contact so far.
