As reported here on The Phoenix on Saturday, Taiwo Awoniyi has signed for Coventry City.
The 29-year-old joins from Nottingham Forest in a deal reported to be worth around £9m, having scored 21 goals in 90 Premier League appearances during his time at the City Ground.
We took an extensive look at exactly what Awoniyi could bring to the Sky Blues over the weekend. Now the deal is confirmed, though, we wanted some more insight from someone who has watched him week in, week out.
Matt Davies, host of the Forest Focus podcast, tells The Phoenix about the player Coventry are getting – from his style of play and occasional frustrations to why ‘Big T’ became such a popular figure at the City Ground.
