Crystal Palace, Everton, and Fulham are reportedly interested in signing 21-year-old Ghanaian winger Ernest Nuamah from Ligue 1 club Lyon next month.
According to a report by French outlet Foot Mercato, Ernest Nuamah might arrive in the Premier League six months after nearly moving to England. Crystal Palace, Everton, and Fulham are keen on signing the 21-year-old Lyon winger. Meanwhile, the Ligue 1 outfit will demand around €25 million to part ways with the young prospect.
Who is Ernest Nuamah?
Ernest Nuamah has struggled to stamp his authority since joining Lyon from RWD Molenbeek. A native of Kumasi, the African winger spent his formative years in Ghana and graduated from the youth division at Right to Dream. Since then, the youngster has struggled for stability, embarking on spells with Nordsjaelland, RWD Molenbeek, and Lyon.
Lyon initially signed the 21-year-old in August 2023 before sending him back to RWD Molenbeek for the remainder of the 2023/24 season. However, he has struggled for relevance this term, not even managing 500 minutes of game time across 13 appearances in all competitions while chipping in with one assist.
A man in demand
The Ghanaian winger nearly moved to the Premier League in the summer transfer window, with Fulham coming on the verge of securing his services. The Cottagers are still keen on signing the young attacking prospect, which makes sense, considering Harry Wilson and Adama Traore have blown hot and cold. In addition, it is unclear if Reiss Nelson will complete a permanent move to Fulham next summer.
Meanwhile, Everton’s interest in Ernest Nuamah is understandable. The Toffees were in advanced talks to sign the African winger in the summer transfer window before the deal failed to see the light of day. With Jack Harrison blowing hot and cold, Everton will need an alternative, with the Lyon winger emerging as a target.
As for Crystal Palace, Ismaila Sarr has struggled to stamp his authority since arriving from Ligue 1 club Marseille in the summer transfer window. So, several candidates, including Ryan Kent, have emerged on the South London club’s radar. However, Nuamah is also an option worth considering for Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, Lyon will look to recoup the €25 million they paid to sign Nuamah from RWD Molenbeek last year. Crystal Palace, Everton, and Fulham have the funds to afford a deal worth €25 million for the 21-year-old Ghanaian international.
