Coventry City have wasted no time preparing for life in the Premier League, confirming their first transfer move immediately after securing promotion under Frank Lampard.
The Sky Blues sealed their return to the top flight with a 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers, ending a 25-year absence from the Premier League. Promotion also triggered a clause in the loan deal of Frank Onyeka, making his move from Brentford permanent.
Onyeka, who joined on loan in February, played a key role in Coventry’s successful campaign and is expected to remain central to Lampard’s plans in the top flight.
An emotional Lampard praised the club’s achievement, highlighting the long journey back after years of struggle, including spells outside the top divisions. He also paid tribute to former manager Mark Robins for his contribution to the club’s rebuilding process.
Coventry’s promotion marks a remarkable turnaround after decades of hardship, and attention will now shift to strengthening the squad ahead of their Premier League return.
