Ernest Nuamah makes transfer decision with Everton in advanced talks

Lyon winger Ernest Nuamah has decided that he fancies a move to Fulham over Everton, according to HITC.

The news outlet reported on 30 August that despite the Toffees being in advanced talks to sign the Ghana international, he will be moving to Craven Cottage.

s understood that the Toffees are still keen on bringing new players through the door before the 11pm deadline.

Everton must continue focusing on other strengthening other areas

The Toffees’ pursuit of the 20-year-old, despite his preference for Fulham, should not deter the club from their transfer strategy, particularly in focusing on a striker and a left-back.

Nuamah’s decision highlights a broader need within Everton’s squad for depth and quality in attacking positions, but more critically, the team’s current setup demands a robust striker to lead the line and a reliable left-back to bolster the defence.

The departure of key players in recent seasons has left the club with a pressing need for a goal scorer who can not only share the burden with existing forwards but also provide a different dynamic in attack.

Similarly, at left-back, there’s still a dearth of sufficient competition or cover, which is vital for maintaining squad rotation and tactical flexibility.

Thus, Everton’s focus should pivot towards these roles to address immediate team balance and future-proofing against injuries or form dips, ensuring they are well-equipped for the Premier League’s rigours.
