Ernest Nuamah eager to make EPL move
By Lukman MUMIN, Accra
Ghana forward Ernest Nuamah is ready to make his long-awaited dream move to England after being linked with a move t0 Everton.
The 21-year-old is in talks with the Premier League side and could join the Toffees in the January transfer window. He was expected to be at advanced stages with the Merseyside outfit but a change in management affected the process.
Other clubs including Fulham are also keeping an eye on the winger in the winter transfer window.
Nuamah is expected to be the first signing of new owners The Friedkin Group as they strengthen the squad for the second round of the campaign. He was first linked with a move to England in the summer transfer window but the deal to Fulham fell through on transfer deadline day.
The talented winger has, however, struggled for consistency in France this season, under manager Pierre Sage. He has netted only a goal in 18 appearances for the club across all competitions.
Meanwhile with Olympique Lyonnais provisionally relegated over their financial standing, the French giants will have to sell some of their stars to avoid demotion.
Nuamah is reportedly one of the players on the list set to leave in January. He could be the second player to leave in the transfer window following the departure of Nigerian forward Gift Orban.
Everton have struggled this season, leading to the sacking of manager Sean Dyche and David Moyes, who managed Mohammed Kudus last season is expected to make a return to the club.
