"Hello, Frank Onyeka.We are thrilled to announce that the Nigerian offensive midfielder has joined us on loan from FC Brentford. "Delighted to have you in Augsburg," reads a message on Augsburg's X account.

The 28-year-old joined the London club from Danish side FC Midtjylland in July 2021.

He has made 78 appearances with the Bees.
