It is reported that Birmingham City are competing with their West Midlands rivals Coventry City for Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka. According to the Daily Mail, Coventry City are planning a move for Onyeka. It is reported that Coventry would have to pay the midfielder a sizeable wage to complete a deal. Estimated figures from Capology state that Onyeka has a base wage of £40,000 per week at Brentford, a figure that would be the highest on Coventry's current wage structure.

Brentford's Nigerian midfielder Frank Onyeka could leave the West London club this winter as he is no longer a primary choice for the team. Coventry City are hoping to persuade the 28-year-old to join on loan, while it is also reported that Birmingham City are making an offer for the player. Onyeka, who joined Brentford in July 2021, has a contract with the club until June 2027. In the current Premier League season, the Nigerian international, with 41 caps and 3 goals for his country, has made 6 appearances and provided 1 assist. His current Transfermarkt market value is €7.00m.
