A positive start to life at Coventry

Lampard praised the Onyeka’s influence on the squad.

“Not many of our players have been exposed to the Premier League whereas lot of other team in the Championship have players who have lots of exposure to it, so there’s an experience and know-how to his game

But he’s been a big impact on and off the pitch, and his professionalism has been really good and, clearly, he’s been a positive addition and he’s come in and helped out upturn in recent weeks.”
