Announced about his departure for several months now, Ernest Nuamah will indeed leave Olympique Lyonnais during this transfer market to take charge of England.
OL's squad continues to be emptied during this winter transfer window. Since after the departures of Maxence Caqueret (Como, 15 ME), Gift Orban (Hoffenheim, 9 ME), Jeffinho (Botafogo, 5.3 ME), Anthony Lopes (FC Nantes, free) and Adryelson (Anderlecht, loan), it It's Ernest Nuamah's turn to pack his bags! Indeed, according to the latest information from RMC Sport, Everton has just reached an agreement with OL for the transfer of the Ghanaian winger. Arriving in 2023 from Molenbeek, via a John Textor-style deal, Nuamah probably played his last match with Lyon this week. Quite simply because the English club validated a check for 20 million euros to recruit the 21-year-old striker during the month of January. If the agreement between the clubs is finalized, the Toffees must now find common ground with Nuamah over salary. But “all parties are confident”and Nuamah should continue his career in the Premier League.
Nuamah in Premier League for 20 ME
Already very close to joining England, at Fulham, during the last transfer window, the former Nordsjaelland player finally accepted his fate. Despite an expensive player status, knowing that OL had spent 28.5 ME to buy him, Nuamah never managed to establish himself as a full-fledged starter in Pierre Sage's group. Behind Fofana or Cherki in the offensive hierarchy, he has only scored once this season, against Frankfurt in the Europa League in December. An important achievement which will therefore remain his career in Lyon, since he will leave for England to replenish the coffers of OL. In search of liquidity to meet the demands of the DNCG, Lyon is therefore continuing its austerity cure, especially since Wilfried Zaha's loan was canceled with Galatasaray. Banned from recruiting this winter, despite the arrival of Thiago Almada, Lyon will therefore approach the second part of the season with a less rich squad, but OL do not really have a choice if they want to avoid a demotion to L2 by the DNCG at the end of the season.
