French side Lyon confirm permanent signing of Ghanas Ernest Nuamah

French Ligue 1 club, Olympique Lyonnais, have announced the permanent signing of Ghana winger, Ernest Nuamah.

Nuamah joins the side from Belgium Pro League club, Molenbeek, on a 4-year contract that will run until June 30, 2028.

The French heavyweights paid €28.5m for the acquisition of the pacy winger, who played for them on loan last season.

The club on Sunday in a statement on their website described Nuamah as, “A dynamic, fast, and impactful forward, Ernest Nuamah—who made his mark at Nordsjaelland in Denmark between January 2022 and August 2023 (49 matches / 20 goals)—has, through his performances, convinced his coach and club officials to extend his stay at OL.

“Possessing exceptional qualities and great potential for development, the 20-year-old Ghanaian international (11 caps) will resume training on Monday, July 8.”

Last season, Ernest Nuamah made 33 appearances in the Ligue 1 and French Cup, scored three goals and provided two assists.

Nuamah featured in Ghana's recent back-to-back wins against Mali and Central African Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
