A few weeks ago during the summer transfer window, Ernest Nuamah was close to leaving OL. But at the last moment, the Ghanaian derailed his arrival in the Premier League.
OL can count on numerous offensive elements this season. Certainly a good thing for Pierre Sage, especially given the matches that will follow for his team. However, the Gones coach could have lost Ernest Nuamah in the final hours of the summer transfer market. But the Ghanaian international, who was going to undergo his medical examination before joining the Premier League as John Textor wished, finally had his transfer derailed. The reason? He simply didn’t want to leave OL, a club that he believes is perfect for his progression at the highest level.
Ernest Nuamah loves OL too much to leave
In recent hours at a press conference, Ernest Nuamah returned to this episode and clarified things with everyone and John Textor. Something to please fans and observers of Olympique Lyonnais: “That was my goal from pre-season: I wanted to stay to develop here as a player, play in Europe and help the team. That was my plan. The environment is favorable to my development. I like the style of play, it was my decision. I love the stadium, I love everything here. (…) It was nice to see the messages from the supporters. I had my own plans and wanted to stick to them, but it was very touching to receive all these messages. Now I just have to express myself more on the pitch, score goals and help the team. I think that’s what will make the fans happy.” This Sunday in Ligue 1, OL host Nantes to try to move on to the championship after their victory in Toulouse. Ernest Nuamah will certainly have arguments to make to start the game, he who would like to score his first goal of the season quickly.
