Everton is reportedly close to finalizing a transfer for Ghana winger Ernest Nuamah, according to Foot Mercato.
The 21-year-old, currently playing for Lyon, is set to join the Premier League side with both clubs reportedly close to an agreement. Nuamah has shown a strong desire to make the move to Everton, and an official announcement from Lyon is expected soon.
Nuamah initially joined Lyon on loan from Belgian side RWD Molenbeek in the summer of 2023. After a successful loan spell, Lyon secured his permanent transfer in the summer of 2024 for a reported €28.5 million. This season, he has made 16 appearances across all competitions, registering one goal and one assist.
The potential transfer to Everton represents a significant step in Nuamah’s career as he looks to prove himself in one of Europe’s top leagues.
This move follows a failed transfer to Fulham in the summer, with Everton now emerging as his likely next destination.
The Toffees’ pursuit of the young winger highlights their efforts to strengthen their squad, and fans will be keen to see how Nuamah fits into their plans if the deal is completed.
