Favour Fawunmi is hoping to help Leyton Orient improve their position in the League One table. Head coach Richie Wellens said Favour is a very direct player who will provide them with a different option in their attacking areas. Wellens added that he likes to get one-on-one and commit defenders, which will only help their other forward players. Martin Ling, Orient's director of football, said that Stoke has a very high opinion of Favour and has given the club responsibility for the next stage of his development. Ling stated this means being exposed to men’s football more regularly and that they believe he has the talent to have a very positive impact on their team.

Favour Fawunmi has joined Leyton Orient on loan from Stoke City, a move that was approved on deadline day. The 19-year-old English and Nigerian winger, who joined Stoke a year ago after leaving West Ham, has made five senior appearances in total, including as a substitute in the club's last two matches. His exit was approved following the arrivals of fellow wingers Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Ato Ampah, with Fawunmi now hoping to experience regular men's football for the first time with the League One side. His contract with Stoke City is set to expire on June 30, 2027. In the 2025/2026 Premier League 2 season, Fawunmi has scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists in 7 appearances.
