Courted in England, Ernest Nuamah is reportedly close to signing with Everton. All parties have practically reached an agreement.
As long as nothing is made official, a lot can happen in football. The transfer window is dotted with these twists and turns which make up the salt of a season. Ernest Nuamah knows this well, since in the summer of 2024, he failed at Fulham on the last day of the transfer window. We will therefore wait before indicating that the Ghanaian would be about to leave the Rhône.
However, our colleagues from Foot Market claim that the winger has become very close to Everton recently. To the point that the three parties have almost reached an agreement for this move towards the Premier League. He was bought by Olympique Lyonnais for 28.5 million in July 2024, after a loan from Molenbeek, but the amount of the possible future operation is not known.
-He had his chance, without really taking it
A track far from surprising, since the Toffees have appreciated the 21-year-old footballer for a while now. Lately, RMC Sport reported interest this winter from the English team. During the previous transfer window, she already wanted to attract him to Liverpool. Since then, Nuamah has not really convinced, despite some playing time granted by Pierre Sage (16 matches this season, 9 starts).
In the vast operation to reduce the payroll and the workforce that OL is carrying out, his departure was therefore a strong possibility. It remains to be seen whether this will be confirmed in the coming hours/days with full and official agreement.
