Frank Lampard explained that the decision to sell Justin Obikwu was made as it was the right time for both the club and the player regarding his stage of development. Lampard refused to disclose the fee but admitted that it was good business for the club. The manager stated he was not aware of a clause that would prevent Obikwu from playing against Coventry City.

Justin Obikwu has joined Queens Park Rangers on a permanent transfer from Coventry City. The move has now been completed after the two clubs agreed a deal. Coventry confirmed the transfer is for a fee that was not disclosed. West London Sport reported at the weekend that an agreement in principle was in place for an initial fee of £500,000. The Sky Blues had recalled the 21-year-old from his loan spell at Lincoln City, where he was limited to four league starts and 13 substitute appearances, scoring three goals.

According to the Coventry Telegraph, Coventry City are diverting striker Justin Obikwu to Queens Park Rangers in an initial deal worth £500,000 after recalling the 21-year-old from a loan spell with League One side Lincoln City.

According to Pete O’Rourke of Football Insider, Queens Park Rangers have agreed a deal with their Championship rivals Coventry City for the transfer of Justin Obikwu. The 21-year-old forward was recalled by Coventry from his loan at Lincoln City, where he had made 21 appearances. The sudden nature of this recall suggests that the move for Obikwu, who has not yet made a senior appearance for Coventry, is likely to be a permanent one.
