Everton showed strong interest in Lyon winger Ernest Nuamah, but Fulham nipped in front of them on deadline day. However, the deal with Fulham ultimately fell through.
Ernest Nuamah was initially set to join Everton in a late switch last month. Sean Dyche's men were hopeful of wrapping up a deal before the transfer window closed.
Nuamah had reached an agreement with Everton, but the transfer eventually fell through. Lyon owner John Textor had proposed Nuamah as a target while he was in the process of trying to acquire Everton. Textor was said to have sent a letter of apology to Nuamah following the failed move. Everton was one of several clubs associated with a potential transfer for the 12-cap Ghanaian international during the final days of the summer transfer window.
Ernest Nuamah had accepted an offer from Everton earlier in the day before deciding on Fulham. However, he eventually refused to sign with Fulham and preferred to stay at Lyon.
Ernest Nuamah has accepted Everton's offer. The deal is expected to be finalized with Olympique Lyonnais. The offer is reported to be around €30 million. Everton is the club that John Textor wishes to acquire with Eagle Football.
Everton are chasing Ernest Nuamah. Lyon want €30m for his sale. Nuamah signed permanently for Lyon this summer for €28.5 million after playing last term on loan from Molenbeek.
Ernest Nuamah is expected to join Everton. John Textor has targeted Everton for a takeover, and Nuamah is set to move to England for a fee of 30 million euros.
Lyon is considering selling Ernest Nuamah to Everton. The sale could help Lyon achieve their goal of raising 100 million euros. Nuamah was bought from Molenbeek for 28.5 million euros this summer, and Lyon hopes to sell him for 30 million euros.
