Ernest Nuamah, who was officially purchased by Olympique Lyonnais this summer for 28.5 million euros, had a very turbulent summer. He was in fact courted by Premier League clubs and almost left the Rhône at the end of the transfer window.
Ernest Nuamah's End of Troubled Summer
But his transfer to Fulham ultimately collapsed at the last minute. The Ghanaian winger actually wanted to stay in Lyon. L'Equipe notably recounted the end of the 21-year-old player's very eventful summer transfer window with incredible revelations.
So, as indicated, Ernest Nuamah remained in the Rhône but the current situation of OL could push him towards the exit this winter. With a good market value, 18 million euros, his departure could do good for Lyon's finances.
Everton want winger, target Ernest Nuamah
This situation could therefore benefit other clubs and in particular Everton. According to information from Goodison News, the Toffees still have the Ghanaian winger in their sights. Indeed, before coming close to joining Fulham this summer, Nuamah was first in contact with Everton.
The Premier League club still appreciates the profile of the Lyon striker and especially needs to recruit a winger this winter. Ernest Nuamah would be a perfect fit for the reinforcement sought by the Toffees, who are also targeting other players.
Ernest Nuamah and Orel Mangala at Everton?
In this report, the Goodison News wonders whether Everton's interest in Nuamah and attempted purchase this summer was purely due to the anticipated influence of Textor on recruitment ? Indeed, the American businessman was announced close to buying the Premier League club this summer.
Note in another file but still between OL and Everton, Orel Mangala, who joined Goodison this summer in the form of a loan without purchase option, could well stay at the end of this season. A permanent transfer to the Blues, where the Belgian midfielder plays a series of matches, will undoubtedly be on the table.
Passionate about sport and from Toulouse, I am of course a supporter of the great TFC, which has more titles than OM and OL combined over the last ten years.
