Ghanaian teenager Ernest Nuamah nears €30million Olympique Lyon move

Emerging as a significant transfer saga, highly-rated Ghanaian winger Ernest Appiah Nuamah is poised to embark on a potentially groundbreaking move to Olympique Lyon, setting the stage for a record fee in the region of €30 million.

The spotlight now shines on Nuamah, currently plying his trade with Nordsjaelland, as he readies to outshine his compatriot Kamaldeen Sulemana in the annals of Danish league history. 

Sulemana’s €21 million transfer from Nordsjaelland to French outfit Stade Rennes in 2021 will be eclipsed by Nuamah’s impending record-setting transfer.

According to European transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Nuamah’s journey to Lyon will commence with a loan arrangement, entailing an obligatory acquisition clause. 

The intricacies of the deal reveal a €25 million fixed fee complemented by €5 million in potential add-ons, fostering a landscape of impressive expectations for the young talent. In the event that the transfer transforms into a permanent contract, a promising five-year tenure awaits Nuamah.

This high-profile transfer, if it comes to fruition, is set to etch Numah’s name into Lyon’s history books as the record signing for the club, a testament to his remarkable potential and burgeoning reputation.

Nuamah’s on-pitch prowess has been nothing short of extraordinary since making his foray into Danish football. His influence has reverberated through the topflight with a mesmerizing blend of goals and assists, catching the attention of football aficionados across the globe.

Throughout the summer, 19-year-old Nuamah found himself enmeshed in the transfer web, with marquee clubs PSG and Ajax expressing interest in securing his services. A noteworthy bid from Stade de Reims also entered the fray, signalling the intensifying race for his signature.

His meteoric rise was duly recognized with the coveted title of the Danish League’s Player of the Year, a testament to his impactful breakout performance in the previous season. Notably, Nuamah’s form has seamlessly transitioned into the 2023/24 campaign, with a commendable tally of four goals and one assist for Nordsjaelland so far.

As the anticipation surrounding this potentially record-breaking move continues to grow, the football world eagerly awaits the next chapter in Nuamah’s journey, poised at the precipice of realizing his prodigious potential on the grand stage of Olympique Lyon.
